Having said that, they come with AWD and it's the only AWD minivan currently offered, so just get FWD instead.

Replying to: jcortney (Feb 13, 2009 7:24 pm) I would hate to have to replace all four run-flats if I only have problems with one of them. Makes me wonder if I bought the right vehicle. I have always considered Toyota to be the best vehicle on the market.

Replying to: whitewaternut (Feb 14, 2009 2:45 pm) Toyota has the only AWD minivan on the market right now. If your requirements were AWD and minivan, then you got the right vehicle. If all you needed was 7 passenger capacity and AWD, Toyota has well reviewed SUV/crossover offerings. If all you needed was a minivan then the Sienna FWD is as good as any on the market.

It cost something like $500 and a days vacation because I did not have a spare! Corporate Toyota would not do ANYTHING for me! I will NOT buy Toyota again. Kevin

Replying to: kajnconant (Feb 16, 2009 5:11 pm) I've never seen a new car warranty that covers the tires. Tires are warrantied through the tire manufacturer and even then road hazards are not covered. Most manufacturers these days have models with run flats but I would be surprised if any would cover your expenses or have any advisement that po-dunk tire shops cannot handle them- the manufacturers' position generally is that all service needs should be taken to a dealer. A decent dealer might have told you about the limitations but when was the last time anyone found one of those?

Replying to: yatesjo (Feb 17, 2009 10:57 am) I'm not looking for warranty coverage. Yellow Stone Service Center could not work on wheels with run-flat tires... Neither could the nearest Tire shops in Wyoming or Montana. We were stranded! Toyota did not explain that not only will the run-flat tires only go 50-miles... but hardly any tire shops have run flat tires and the right equipment to even work on them! Just about anywhere you get a flat wont be able to replace your run-flat tire! That's a MAJOR oversight that cost my family and I a lot of time, money, and lost vacation. Kevin
