Replying to: spongecat (Sep 17, 2009 6:21 pm) I've noticed several other Siennas with this same problem. The only way to go up against Toyota on this issue is with numbers. I will provide a link to my blog in the next few days. Link will describe the problem, document my experience with Toyota to date, and provide a "Toyota Hall of Shame" on which other affected owners can post a photo of their particular wheel problem. As the wall grows, we might get some attention from Toyota. Together we can and will get satisfaction!

I just bought a 2010 Limited AWD and asked about a donut spare at the dealer, the parts guy said they did have a package on the older models but he couldn't find it anymore. He said to buy a donut it would be $300 for the tire and $100 for the wheel! I said are you sure that is a donut and not some sort of high end performance tire and he said yes. Anyone find a place to get a donut spare and jack kit for a reasonable price? I would like to get one eventually as I plan to replace the run-flats with regular tires when they wear out Thanks

Replying to: dc0517 (Oct 01, 2009 7:56 am) I went to recycle some used motor oil and once saw a huge pile of donut spares. The trick is to find one that fits. You need to get the right bolt pattern (5x100 I think but verify that first), and also the correct overall diameter. |

My 2007 Sienna XLE AWD's run flat tires are all shot at 22,000 miles. I have been offered 2 replacements by Toyota and $100 form the dealer. This takes me down to $345. All this good will after many phone conversations and many unsurprised service people. Did I mention the brow beating from the Toyota Corp. representative. He sarcastically told me how lucky I was that I was getting any help at all. When I asked why Toyota continued to engineer a vehicle and supply it with substandard tires, I was asked if I would prefer that they provide a car without tires. Nice guy. Next time I'll go back to Honda.

| We have a 2006 Sienna LE AWD with 42,000 miles. We took the car in for uneven wear in the tires and a shimmy. They replaced 4 tires and brake pads under warranty. Then we had the same issue coming up on 40,000 miles. We ended up with a flat and limped to Sams Club where we purchased 4 new run flat tires. I'm considering trading this one in for a 2010 Sienna and is thinking about having them swap these tires to the new van. They have to be better than the crap that comes on them from the factory. | |

Replying to: ncm (Oct 23, 2009 2:01 pm) And get run-flats on their Touring model? They're no better. To make matters worse it's a 17.5" rim size so you're basically stuck. The Bimmer owners I know who have them hate the rough ride, too. Why not just get a vehicle without run-flats? |
