'04 tires
The 2004 pre-production vehicle seen at the UK Wimbleton preview
only had a can of run-flat goo in the spare tire area.
The 2004 pre-production vehicle recently seen by
Dianne from Carson Toyota had a donut spare in the back (but probably enough space for
a full-size spare).
The tires/rims on these pre-production vehicles have all been different, some even just for show.
The 2004 Prius comes standard with a low-tire-pressure warning monitor, like all new cars in the US will have to have in a couple of years by law. Only will tell you if you're dangerously underinflated, not just if your tires are low, though.
I haven't heard of the run-flat tires as standard, though.
According to Dianne, the pre-production model she saw and got a test-drive of felt very Camry-like, with the forward visibility of an Avalon, and the turning radius of the current Prius. She says it seemed even quieter than the current Prius.
