Best Tires for Toyota RAV4

The Toyota RAV4 is the best-selling SUV in America — available in standard, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and the off-road-focused Adventure and TRD trims. The right tire depends on which RAV4 you drive and what you do with it.

Common Toyota RAV4 tire sizes

5th gen RAV4 (2019-current): 225/65R17 (LE), 235/55R18 (XLE, XLE Premium), 235/55R19 (Limited), 255/60R18 (TRD and Adventure), 225/65R17 RAV4 Hybrid.

4th gen RAV4 (2013-2018): 225/65R17 (most trims), 235/55R18 (SE, Limited).

The TRD and Adventure trims are built on a lifted platform with wider tires and all-terrain capability from the factory.

Best all-season tires — standard RAV4

Michelin CrossClimate2: the top pick for standard and hybrid RAV4 owners. Exceptional wet performance, 3PMSF winter rating, long tread life, and quiet ride. Available in all RAV4 17 and 18-inch sizes.

Continental CrossContact LX25: strong wet performance and fuel efficiency — worth considering for the RAV4 Hybrid and PHEV where fuel economy matters.

Bridgestone Turanza LS100A: the OEM tire on many RAV4 trims. A fine tire; most owners upgrade to the CrossClimate2 or CrossContact when it is time to replace.

Best tires for RAV4 Adventure and TRD Off-Road

The Adventure and TRD trims use 255/60R18 tires on a lifted, wider platform. These models come with OEM tires that provide some off-road capability — but owners who actually use the Adventure/TRD capability typically upgrade to better A/T rubber.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 255/60R18: the most popular upgrade for the Adventure/TRD. Strong all-terrain capability, 3PMSF winter rating, and quieter on the highway than many A/T competitors.

BF Goodrich KO2 in 255/60R18: the benchmark A/T choice for RAV4 TRD owners who want maximum trail capability. Slightly louder on the highway than the Wildpeak but stronger in serious off-road use.

RAV4 in West Georgia

The RAV4 is extremely common in the West Georgia market, particularly the standard LE and XLE trims in the Douglasville, Carrollton, and Villa Rica areas. Common sizes (225/65R17, 235/55R18) are well-stocked at most tire shops. TRD-specific sizes (255/60R18) may require a call ahead at smaller shops.

Frequently asked

Do I need to replace all four tires on my AWD RAV4?

Toyota recommends replacing all four tires together on the AWD RAV4 to prevent differential and drivetrain stress from tread depth differences. If you must replace only two, a tire shaving service can match the new tires' tread depth to the older tires.

How much do Toyota RAV4 tires cost?

Common all-season tires in 225/65R17 or 235/55R18 run $100–160 per tire. Premium tires (Michelin CrossClimate2, Continental CrossContact) run $150–200 per tire. A set of four installed: $450–800.

What tires come on the RAV4 TRD?

The RAV4 TRD comes with Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires in 255/60R18 — a capable all-terrain choice from the factory. The standard Wildpeak AT3W is the most popular performance upgrade over the Trail version.

Are the same tires used on the RAV4 Hybrid and RAV4 Prime?

The RAV4 Hybrid and Prime share sizes with standard RAV4 trims (225/65R17 and 235/55R18 depending on trim). For the Hybrid and Prime, prioritize tires with low rolling resistance ratings — the Continental CrossContact LX25 and Michelin CrossClimate2 both perform well here.
