BTW run flat tires are EXTREMLY heavy. I used to work at a tire shop years ago. And i remember hating to install them. They were super super heavy and the sidewall was so stiff it was near impossible to mount them. especially low profiles. We always had to get the aid of one of the exeprience techs and even he had trouble.

I think my Yaris came with RFT (2012) I got a pamphlet with the car, so I assume that there are RFT with the car and a spare. I prefer the RFT, for one reason, you can get to a dealership without having to mess around with a spare tire especially when you least expect it.
