What is the best option people have found for putting a full sized spare in the back of a Sienna? We got an AWD Sienna and also want to replace the run flat tires with regular tires and a full size spare in the back. Like the original poster, our idea of a vacation is to remoter areas. I think of driving over the Big Horn Mountains to the town of Ten Sleep. Would I want to rumble into that town with run flat tires and no spare? I saw someone pull over for a flat just yesterday but they weren’t in Ten Sleep, Wyoming!

Thanks! We have our vehicles serviced at one place, and the service manager tracked down a reconditioned wheel and put a tire on it. It is available for pick up and I am excited to figure out how to store it! I also decided against a trailer hitch mount or roof mount. We have a canopy for camping that I want to easily put in back, so I am going to try to have the tire standing up behind the middle passenger side seat and have the third row passenger side seat not used. This has been quite an education for me. I never heard of run flat tires, didn't know what AWD drive was, and didn't even know the difference between wheel and tire! What I did know is there is no way I am driving around remoter areas of Minnesota without a spare!
