Yeah, as I mentioned earlier, it seems the Canadian cars have been ripped off! Everyone I've spoken to with runflats in Canada does not have a spare. I think it might be law in the US that every car ship with a mandatory spare tire. I'm surprised it's different in Canada...
Anyway, if someone out there has a spare tire kit they would like to sell, please let me know. You can ship to Canada or US as I've got an address in zip code 53189. Just PM me your price.
thanks!

Have you checked out an auto wrecker in your area? Since the model has been around a long time there should be a kit available somewhere.
Wpg550 is bang-on correct about the TPMS, although I was told only LCI 2008 models had the in-rim sensors denoted by the pewter coloured, fat-headed valve caps.
The FTM utilizes the ABS computer system to detect variations in the speed of each wheel which the computer then determines is one wheel with less air turning at a different speed.
