Please read the note. May not be compatible with rims of 16" or larger running the stock tires

Get yourself some good sticky non runflat rubber and these will work perfectly for you =)

Compatible with 16" running Toyos though.

Trust me, I have one of those on the rear passenger side right now.

It's even cheaper to remove the Schrader valve stems. Works on runflats as well. The ride's a bit stiff for the open road but works great for boulevard cruising.
