Default Sienna AWD 15k RunFlat Tire Replacement

Sienna AWD 15k RunFlat Tire Replacement

The runflat tires on the Sienna AWD are "good" for about 15k miles and cost twice a normal tire.

I want to replace with real tires.

Anyone know where to get a donut spare? Any place to store it?

A FULL size spare will fit into the compartment that the "60" part of the 60/40 third row fold down seats normally collapses into.

I bought a good condition used stock sized 17 inch tire for $30.00 and put it on a 17 inch regular steel rim. It fits like a glove. I put a universal sized velcro wrapper / carrier on it and lay it down axle side up. This maximizes the cargo space in that compartment.

Since there is no room outside underneath the AWD models for mounting a spare, you might as well have a full size as opposed to a compact since it inconveniences the storage just about as much.

I leave the "60" of the 60/40 side third row seat up and the "40" side down. If I need to, I can pull the spare out, lower the seat into the floor and find room for the spare inside after I load whatever it is I needed to put the seat down to carry.

Make sure you call Toyota and let them know about your tires. They are aware that the run-flats are complete junk and will pay full replacement cost for your new tires. I got 20k out of mine but they were junk.

Anyone know when the Sienna will be redesigned?

Got tires for my 05 Sienna from the dealer once under the settlement of the class action suit.

How many times is one permitted to go back?
