My apologies for bringing up again a topic that has already been beaten to death. I did find some previous discussion on this while searching, but it didn't seem conclusive. I guess I didn't search well enough...
Regardless, not sure how my 2006 GS300 AWD that came from the factory with the Dunlop SP Sport 5000M DSST run flats AND a spare tire in the trunk (NOT a styrofoam place holder) is explained? Either I just got really lucky, or at some point in the model year they did start putting spares in the AWDs with the run flats...
Hey all i jsut replaced my tires with the michelin pilots like everyone advised n is very happy its like riding on a cloud! Now for that spare being there my mechanic which is also my neighbor said "u dont gotta spare" he told me that i needed to purchase some convertor kit n find a spare... So jsut for sh!ts n giggles i looked under the mat in my trunk n low n behold theres a spare in there its a tan colored rim in there hope that helps i dont know how i lucked out but i did....
