What are the best tires for RAV4?

[MacBentley]

RAV4 mainly uses three types of tires: Bridgestone, Dunlop, and Yokohama. When replacing tires, pay attention to the tire specifications and choose the appropriate ones. In daily use of car tires, the following aspects should be noted: 1. Regularly check the tire inflation pressure. Normal tire pressure can effectively improve the vehicle's fuel economy, so the tire inflation pressure should be checked frequently. A tire pressure gauge can be used for accurate measurement, or service station personnel can check it during regular vehicle maintenance. 2. Regularly remove foreign objects from the tread grooves of the tires to avoid damage caused by these objects. Also, check whether the tread depth exceeds the usage limit. If it does, replace the tires promptly to prevent hazards. 3. While paying attention to tire pressure, also be mindful of the tire load. Tires are the final components that bear the vehicle's load. The structure, strength, usage pressure, and speed of the tires are strictly calculated and determined by the manufacturer. Overloading the tires beyond the standard will affect their service life.

Having driven the RAV4 for so many years, I believe tire selection should prioritize safety and daily suitability. The RAV4 is a city SUV, and the factory tire size is typically 225/65 R17. I recommend all-season tires like the Michelin Defender LTX M/S, which provides stable traction on both wet and dry roads with excellent anti-slip performance, making it particularly suitable for rainy seasons. It also offers good comfort and durability, lasting about 60,000-80,000 kilometers. Additionally, check tire pressure monthly—don’t skimp on this small expense, as tires are the only part in contact with the road. Ensure they match the RAV4’s 4WD or FWD system to avoid uneven wear or increased fuel consumption from incorrect sizing. For brands, besides Michelin, Goodyear and Bridgestone are also good options, but always have them replaced at a professional shop. Regular tire rotation extends lifespan—don’t wait for issues to arise. Safety comes first.

As an average car owner who drives a RAV4 daily to take my kids around, I prioritize quietness and comfort when choosing tires. I like the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady—it's an all-season tire that doesn't slip in the rain, has low noise, and suits city roads. Priced moderately at around 800-1000 RMB per tire, it also helps save fuel. Remember to stick with the original size 225/65 R17—don’t randomly switch to larger rims, or you’ll sacrifice comfort. Keep an eye on tread depth; replace them when it’s below 3mm, and they should last several years. Check user reviews instead of just listening to sales pitches. Tires like the Bridgestone Ecopia are budget-friendly, but personally, I find Goodyear more durable.

I often take my RAV4 on trips, and I choose BF Goodrich T/A KO2 all-terrain tires for their strong grip, effortlessly handling mud and gravel roads. Don't forget the size 225/65 R17 to ensure a perfect fit for the vehicle. The price isn't cheap, but it's worth it for peace of mind. Regularly check the tire pressure and balance—don't overlook this, as it improves handling.
