1999 Toyota RAV4 Repair, Service & Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota RAV4 tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Browse Toyota RAV4 tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.
