T 180 spare wheel

[JOSCYN]

Hi Members

I have heard that the Lexus RX 350 Space Saver fits the T180 so can be carried as a Spare wheel.

Can anyone please confirm or suggest alternatives.

In advance

Thank you

The standard space saver for a RAV 4.3 or 4.4 is a 17'' steel wheel with a 165/80 D17 tyre. This has the 'same' (or near enough the same) rolling radius as the 235/55 R18s fitted as standard to our cars.

I don't know about the Lexus RX 350 but suspect it uses the same ...

Thanks Philip

Am changing 2 x tyres today for Standard fit so would like a little cover should the worst happen

It's a pity that you're not just round the corner.  I have a T180 spacesacer in my shed that you could have had.

My Dear Stivino

Where about are you.

I am due to visit my Father soon in Kirkudbright and would make a detour.

What would you be looking for by way of recompense?

And just to update all, my local Toyota in Harlech North Wales changed 2 x tyres for me today and found that the Run Flat Bands had already been removed even though the Bridgestone Dueler 687's had been used.

We now believe that the other 2 will be the same so may try local Depot when needed.

But will still visit Stivino if possible first.

Thanks

I’m in the Edinburgh area, about 100 miles from Kircudbright so it would be a fair detour. But, give me a shout if you are going to be passing.
