Spare wheel

Recommended Posts

HI,

I have a 3 door Rav4 which I am looking to replace with a newer 5 door model.

At the moment I have a cycle rack that fits to the spare wheel mounting on the rear door.

Whilst I would love an SR180 I am put off by the RFT's so am now looking for a model with

the rear spare wheel on the door, circa 2008/9.

Is there a particular model that has the spare wheel since I have seen some with and without?

Steve

You can swap the horrid run flats over for normal tyres. However, be advised that only Toyota will touch them as they have reinforcement rings fitted, and special machinery is required to remove them. 25 quid per corner when I did it. You will also need to carry a spare wheel in the boot, or make alternative provision for any puncture. 

That said, the handling and ride is much improved, and the cost of new tyres is dramatically reduced.
