Replying to: ateixeira (May 28, 2009 8:12 am) No, not sure what kind. I have called the dealership service dept. they recommended tires that we have already tried. Michelin and Yokahama Replies to this message: ateixeira (May 28, 2009 9:27 am) onthego4 (May 29, 2009 2:34 pm) ateixeira (Jun 04, 2009 7:12 am)

Replying to: onthego4 (May 28, 2009 9:06 am) What kind of miles do you get out of them? Just curious.   My OE tires typically get about 28k miles. If you have a 2004 model, and it were my van, I'd probably be on my 3rd set by now. Maybe 2nd but well worn. Replies to this message: onthego4 (May 29, 2009 2:34 pm) ateixeira (Jun 04, 2009 7:12 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (May 28, 2009 9:27 am) We get about 20,000 to 40,000. I am on the 6th or 7th set. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 04, 2009 7:12 am)
#202 of 239 Re: Recommendation for AWD Replacement Tires for Sienna XLE Limited [dave_naz] by mnrep2 Jun 03, 2009 (3:04 am)
Replying to: dave_naz (Apr 20, 2009 8:52 pm) "It's a full diameter half width sort of tire. BUT, I think the diameter is meant to match a 16 inch conventional tire, not the 17 inch AWD which seems to be slightly larger in diameter. (The reason I believe this is that I can't get the 17 run flat to fit in the same space.) " The min-spare I have is sized T155 80R 17. If I take a tape measure it is pretty much the same diameter as my 17" Yokohoma conventional tires. It is NOT meant for a 16" diameter tire. (You need to Push Harder to make your run flat fit !!)
#203 of 239 All terrain tires for Sienna by sienna45 Jun 03, 2009 (9:32 am)
I have a 2006 Sienna AWD; I drive in the mountains in Central Pennsylvania on gravel and mud roads, and through snow. I would like to have a little more rubber under me for these rough roads and am considering buy Pirelli Scorpions in 225/6517 rather than the stock 225/60 17 Dunlop run flats. Their width range is 6.5 - 8.5 inches, with a recommended 7 inch width rim; they have a 28.5 inch diameter that contrasts with a 27.9 inch on the Dunlops. The constraint is the front struts. The closest alternative is Yokohama ATR's in 225/60 17 (65's are too big at a 29.6 inch diameter) Question: will the Pirelli's fit?   By the way, I am in the process of converting the Sienna into an analog of a Volkswagon Westfalia Camper.   Thank you.

Replying to: onthego4 (May 29, 2009 2:34 pm) 40,000 miles is very reasonable, IMO.   20k is a bit short, though.   Just get the same tires that gave you 40k the last time, and get a 4 wheel alignment while you're at it.
#205 of 239 Run Flat Vs Normal Tire by rjoegreg Jun 09, 2009 (8:31 pm)
Hello All   I have a 2005 XLE Limited AWD fitted with Dunlop run flat tire..since i bought,,its the 2nd time, its changed and now its time to change again..   I need some inputs   1. Changing to Normal Tire--> Will it create any issues around the vehicle stability, Shock absorbers or Pressure monitoring system ?   2. If we need to change to normal tire, do we need to change the Rim as well ?   3. For Spare tire, Is there any method to put it up under the hood OR should we need to leave it in the 3rd Row ?   4. Can I buy a doughnut tire instead of regular tire ? would it create any issue with vehicle stability..   I am not happy with run flat for the following reasons   1. Expensive and need to be changed very frequently.. 2. Bumpy and noisy for the Ride. 3. Last but the Worst... Its very difficult to get a run flat tire..if tire goes flat..we might travel for 100 miles max but you are struck there for days to get a replacement..

Replying to: rjoegreg (Jun 09, 2009 8:31 pm) Others have used normal tires without any of the potential issues bring up. I'll let them chime in since they would certainly know better than I would.   You can use a donut because mine has one - in fact most Siennas do. It'll just take up cargo space. A donut will have the same diameter but won't be as wide, basically. I've seen one on the floor of the 3rd row, so it will fit in the well.
#207 of 239 Run Flats by whitewaternut Jul 15, 2009 (3:55 pm)
Does anyone know if run flats can be plugged, like when you run over a nail? I keep a plug kit in the emergency kit and have used it on my Toyota pickup with normal tires for punctures. Can it be used on run flats?
#208 of 239 Plugging Run Flat Tires by kj2005 Jul 15, 2009 (4:53 pm)
I don't know what conventional wisdon says, but on our 06 Sienna we had 2 sets of Dunlop SP 4000 DST run flat tires. Each set lasted about 30K miles and in about 3 years we must have had 5 plugged tires.   Two plugs in the past 6 months, and just last week I had a 6 inch slice in one tire which could not be plugged so I had to replace the set. I decided to switch to Birdgestone's. These were cheaper at only $168 each, A LOT quieter at low or highway speeds, etc.   The Dunlops were a big disappointment, I hope the Bridgestone tires last.
