Expert Guide
How to Choose the Best Tyres for Your Toyota RAV4
The Toyota RAV4 is consistently one of New Zealand's top-selling vehicles, and for good reason. Its versatility makes it the perfect SUV for everything from city commuting to weekend adventures. To get the most out of your RAV4, you need the right tyres that match your driving style and NZ's unique road conditions.
Best Touring Tyres for Toyota RAV4
For most RAV4 owners, a touring or highway SUV tyre is the ideal choice. These tyres prioritise comfort, fuel economy, and wet-weather grip — exactly what a family SUV needs on NZ roads.
Top picks include the Michelin Primacy SUV, which offers outstanding wet grip and tread life, the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport for its refined ride quality, and the Continental CrossContact LX2 for its excellent fuel efficiency. For a quality mid-range option, the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 SUV and Nexen Roadian GTX deliver excellent value.
Best Tyres for Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
RAV4 Hybrid owners should prioritise low rolling resistance tyres to maximise fuel economy. The right tyres can improve your fuel economy by 3–5%, which adds up significantly over the life of the tyre.
The Michelin Primacy 4 and Bridgestone Turanza T005 are both excellent choices designed to work with hybrid powertrains. The Continental EcoContact 6 is another strong option. All three offer outstanding wet grip alongside their fuel-saving properties — critical for NZ's wet winters.
Best Budget Tyres for Toyota RAV4
Budget RAV4 tyres start from around $100 per tyre for the 225/65R17 size. The Evergreen ES82 and Laufenn G FIT EQ offer solid everyday performance at a fraction of the price of premium brands. Both deliver acceptable wet grip and reasonable tread life for mixed driving.
The key with budget RAV4 tyres is to ensure you're getting the correct load index (typically 103 or 107) for your variant. A cheap tyre that doesn't meet the minimum load spec is a false economy, especially if you regularly carry a full family and luggage.
Toyota RAV4 Tyre Sizes — Which Size Do You Need?
The Toyota RAV4 comes in several variants with different tyre sizes. The 4th gen RAV4 (2013–2018) uses 225/65R17. The 5th gen (2019+) runs 225/60R18 on most GX and GXL variants, while the Cruiser and Edge models use 225/55R19. The RAV4 Hybrid shares the same 225/60R18 size as the standard 5th gen.
If you're not sure which size your RAV4 needs, check the tyre placard on the driver's door jamb. You can also use our AI tyre finder to match the right tyres to your exact RAV4 variant in seconds.
What to Look For
Toyota RAV4 Tyre Buying Tips
Prioritise Wet Grip
The RAV4 is a family vehicle — safety in wet conditions should be your top priority. Look for an A wet grip rating on the EU tyre label.
Comfort First
RAV4 owners value a quiet, comfortable ride. Choose tyres with low noise ratings for a pleasant cabin experience on long family trips.
Hybrid Fuel Efficiency
RAV4 Hybrid owners should prioritise low rolling resistance tyres to maximise their fuel savings. Look for an A fuel rating on the EU label.
5-Year Warranty

Tyre Rotation
Rotate your RAV4's tyres every 10,000–15,000 km. The AWD system can cause uneven wear patterns if tyres aren't rotated regularly.
