2003 Toyota RAV4 Tires, Repair & Service

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota RAV4 tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!)

Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!
