2014 Toyota RAV4 Tire Information

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new 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. 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!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway. Browse Toyota RAV4 tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

2014 Toyota RAV4 Tire Questions

  • Can I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires at home? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota RAV4 tires. Grab a penny.

Brake Repair for Your 2014 Toyota RAV4

Your Toyota RAV4 engine may be strong and reliable. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. Don't wait if you're experiencing brake squeaks or a loss of braking power.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2014 Toyota RAV4

When you first bought your 2014 Toyota RAV4, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your RAV4 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump.

2014 RAV4 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What can cause my Toyota RAV4 to have a bouncy ride?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your RAV4 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my RAV4 front end dip forward when I brake?  The forward dip in the front end of your RAV4 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Questions About 2014 Toyota RAV4 A/C Systems

  • What causes A/C system leaks?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your RAV4's A/C system.
  • What is causing my RAV4’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your RAV4 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

  • Can Toyota RAV4 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Toyota RAV4 can develop a transmission fluid leak.

Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Can I drive my Toyota RAV4 with a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your RAV4 if it’s leaking transmission fluid.
