Default Pot holes caused 2 flats, need new spare

Well I had a blowout due to a pothole, put on the spare, and only made it a mile before potholes blew that out as well. So I need a new spare for my 250. The tow driver told me all toyota/lexus cars use the same one, is this correct? Any leads on a cheap spare?

Just look up the size of your current one and buy it from tirerack or local tire dealer.

Possibly. In most jurisdictions the city will only be liable and pay if there is a record that they received prior notice of the road defect and did not act to correct it within the prescribed amount of time.

Only and only if the city received a complaint over 24hrs. If nobody reported it then ..... pay out of your pocket
