lol we complained that we wouldnt want to call road side assistance and etc. We complained to one of the sales person that sold us the car, and apparently he got pissed and started cussing us out.
Therefore.... we spoke to the sales manager I think, (one of the head owners of Lexus of Glendale), and told him about the situation and the dumb salesperson. He managed to offer us free 4 run flat tires, or OEM IS350 wheel with tire (to put in trunk, not under the trunk). We took the 4 run flat tires deal since we had to get our flat tire replaced that made us come to lexus of glendale in the first place.
Next day they called us saying there are no run flat tires suitable for my F-sport rims. So I said just give me the OEM and make it "F-SPORT" the guy resitated, and yet still gave it to us with replacement of torn tire, and another michelin PS2 for the spare.
So now I have 2 brand new PS2 in the front, and the used PS2 in the trunk. NO CHARGE
All thanks to arguing, and negotiating
By the way, one huge factor though. We bought ALL F-Sport from Lexus of glendale for my birthday gift and had it installed by them. They never told us about the spare tire situation and etc... So if you guys have F-sport BBK i pray you bought it from the dealership and had them installed by them(which is very small chance though
) I guess this is where I get some support from buying expensive dealer price
P.S. While arguing, we then tried the 19in spare from IS-F, DOES NOT FIT. A good -20mm contact with the BBK.

I have included pictures of my IS-F spare in my IS350 since I have IS-F brakes. The mat doesn't stick up at all on mine, fits nice and smooth. Keep in mind, I don't have the official Lexus spare tire, I have a Maxxis one. Same size though, so that shouldn't make a difference.
