They don't. Have a bad leak and you'll be lucky to get a quater mile.
Driving around without a spare is just not an option in my book.
wish I never bought the Sienna, simply for the crappy tires, in case
anyone from Toyota happens to follow this group.

A few weeks back I pulled the spare out from under my '92 F150. It was
the original Firestone that came with the truck. It had zero air in the
tire, so even if I had needed it, it wouldn't have helped. I usually
check the pressure in my "temporarey spares about twice a year. They
are always low. Instead of worrying about the spare, I carry a small,
cheap 12V compressor in my cars. If a tire starts to go flat, pumping
it up with the compressor is usually enough to get me to a place I can
get the tire fixed.
