The tire model of RAV4 is 225/65R17. The first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 65 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 65%, meaning the section height is 65% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 17 represents the rim diameter of 17 inches. The RAV4 has a top speed of 180km/h, accelerates from 0-100km/h in 5 seconds, and has a fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km. In addition to the model, the tire also displays the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire.

As a long-time Toyota RAV4 owner, let me share some insights. The tire specifications vary depending on the model year. For newer models like the 2023 or 2024 RAV4, the base LE trim typically uses 225/65R17 tires, which means 225mm tread width, 65% aspect ratio, and 17-inch rims. Higher trims like Adventure or XSE come with 235/55R19 or even larger wheels. The easiest way to check your tire size is to look at the sticker on the driver's side door jamb or consult the owner's manual. Using incorrect tire sizes can cause vehicle instability and compromise handling safety. Don't forget to maintain proper tire pressure during maintenance – keep it around 35 PSI when cold, as both overinflation and underinflation affect ride comfort. I've seen older models (pre-2010) using 205/70R16 tires, which are smaller but provide good stability. Always match OEM specifications when replacing tires to avoid increased fuel consumption or uneven tire wear.
