2012 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 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 summer and one for winter. 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!

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.
