Default Finally ditched the run flats! (Now I need a spare)

I swapped them out for Yokohama YK580.... So far the car is sooooo much quieter.

Not to mention 4 of these are less than 2 of the run flats.

Oh and I went with 255/40s.... I just read some think they are too wide for the stock rims, but I am liking them.


Where can I get a cheap spare for my GS450h?

Here you go, this is for is250 should work on the GS's as it is the same size tire and wheel lug pattern.

What matters is the overall height of the tire, this tire size is the same size as the GS spare. This should work for you! If you search for IS used parts the prices are a bit less then the GS for the same part. Like for instance a jack and handle

Ok thanks... I've complete ignored the fact I need a jack too.. (if I had a nickel for every time I've said that)

Thanks again.
