Recommended replacement tires
Your RAV4 came from the factory with capable, all-season touring tires designed for quiet operation and good fuel economy. When it's time for a new set, you can replace them with similar tires or upgrade for specific performance needs.
- $$$ Michelin CrossClimate2: A premium "all-weather" tire that offers superior performance in all conditions, including better snow and ice traction than a standard all-season.
- $$ Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady: Another excellent premium all-weather choice, providing confident handling in dry, wet, and snowy conditions.
- $ Falken WildPeak A/T Trail: A great option for Adventure and TRD Off-Road owners, or anyone wanting a more aggressive look and improved off-road capability without sacrificing too much on-road comfort.
Lug nut torque & pattern
- Lug Nut Torque: 76 ft-lbs (103 Nm)
- Pattern: Always tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure the wheel is seated evenly against the hub. Tighten them in two stages: first, snug them up lightly, then lower the vehicle and torque them to the final specification.
Common tire issues for this vehicle
The 2020 Toyota RAV4 is not known for any specific, recurring tire problems. However, like any modern vehicle, it's susceptible to common issues arising from lack of maintenance. Premature tire wear is most often caused by:
- Improper Inflation: Consistently running tires below the recommended 36 PSI will cause wear on the outer edges and decrease fuel economy.
- Misalignment: Pothole impacts or worn suspension components can knock the alignment out of spec, causing rapid and uneven tire wear. A pull to one side or a crooked steering wheel are signs you need an alignment check.
- Failure to Rotate: Toyota recommends rotating your tires every 5,000 miles to ensure they wear evenly. The front tires on a front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicle naturally wear faster than the rears.
