I wonder if the AWD Sienna's can use "
normal" wheels and tires?Guess you can't put a "normal" tire on an AWD rim??What do you think-JL_SS? Thanks.Charlie
On the Sienna, the rim was the standard alloy used with the regular tires. I'm not totally positive, but I don't think there would be an impact on the sensing system as the run flat technology used is simply very strong sidewalls. But as Osteome pointed out, if you switch over to regular tires you need to carry a spare that will take up valuable cargo room and not allow you to fold the third row down. I wouldn't buy a vehicle run flats again until they are much more prevalent on autos.
