2004 Toyota RAV4 Service, Tires & Repairs

Apart from finding the right tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota RAV4 tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Next, consider your driving style. 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.
