Default Run-Flat tires on LS model

Which model year prior to 2018 did Lexus LS equip with run-flat tires?
I've heard horror stories about these tires, not necessarily unsafe, but it can be a pain-in-the-b if a tire puncture is to happen out in the boondocks where such tire and size may not be carried or stocked.

All 4LS cars (2007-2017) have a full-size spare, so they were not equipped with run-flat tires.

Thank you. That 2014 LS460 has got to be a head-turner,eh? Did you get it new?

Hi Leximum, thanks for the compliment. It is a rare car, similar to a few others on CL (satiger, for sure). Plus with all the mods I did (mud guards, black grille, dead pedal, iPhone mirroring kit), it's one of a kind. I bought it used in Feb 2016, and have enjoyed it immensely. I intend to keep it for a long while!
