What is the tire size of the new RAV4?
1 Answers
Toyota RAV4 comes with three tire models: 225/65R17, 225/60R18, and 235/55R19, which vary depending on the vehicle configuration. Most original Toyota RAV4 tires use brands like Yokohama or Dunlop, while some may feature Michelin or Bridgestone. The functions of tires and methods for determining when to replace them are as follows: Functions of tires: As one of the most critical components of a vehicle, tires not only affect the vehicle's handling performance but also the safety of passengers. After all, no matter how fast a car can go, it relies entirely on the four tire contact patches. Tires often operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, pressures, and extreme temperatures during driving. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning ability. Methods for determining tire replacement: Signs of tire aging primarily appear in the tread patterns and sidewalls; wear on the tread reaches the limit markers or even below them; localized bulges on the tire can lead to uneven stress distribution and potential blowouts; the depth and area of tire damage should be assessed to decide whether a repair or complete replacement is necessary.
