OP here. I did not know this (we're just starting to look at the details of each). I have run flat tires on my current car, and I hate them! Not as much because they wear more quickly (I don't put a lot of mileage on my car), but because they are so much more susceptible to flats (I've had 4 flats in the last 2.5 years). Have you had any issue with frequent flats on your Sienna? I had so been looking forward to getting rid of those run flat tires...

In any case, we went for function and got a Sienna. It's fine.
