I have 19" Niche Aftermarket wheels with Toyo non-Run flats....I hate run flats. They're expensive up here in Canada and with our pot holes, crevices. cracks, sunken man hole covers and expansion joints on our shitty roads in Quebec, I've heard a lot of bad stories of exploding tires and replacements costing up to $800 per tire! So I used the original wheels that my 2018 came with and use them for winter with proper winter tires that is the law here in Quebec and I bought Toyo Extensa XP 245/40/19 and very happy with the look, performance and low highway noise. I have no spare and instead I have a flat tire bottle/bong that has a stem/hose that screws to the valve stem of the tire and fills it up and seals the hole...up to a point of course except if it's a catastrophic failure of the side wall which has never happened to me. The puncture repair is good enough to make it to the garage in time for a replacement or repair.
