Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.
How long do tires last on the Toyota RAV4?
Across 25 end of life reviews from Toyota RAV4 drivers, a typical set of tires was worn out after 20,000 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 13,000 miles and 37,500 miles.
Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them.
Every tire reviewed on the Toyota RAV4
The complete record, including discontinued tires and tires with too few reviews to rank, ordered by the amount of evidence. A further 64 tires have a single review each; they count toward the totals but are not listed.

Baught Joy Road HT summer tire 5 month ago size 225 60 R18 ...Do not go for price, it's cheap but this tire has poor quality get u trouble on road so do not go for price go for quality pay little extra more but do not take risk for any JOY ROAD tire.
My car if fwd and i was able to climb in places it was imposible with other tires like viking, sava, bridgstone
The tires have done well on mixed roads. Motorway, minor roads and forestry haul roads. I suspect they are too focused on winter for our climate. Snow is infrequent. All weather or all-season might be better for wet weather and warm summers.
They may have done 44,000 miles. I bought car with these tires on at 20,000 miles and they were not new then.
Nice tires, on the 2004 Rav4 with permanent awd, no issues. A bit noisy, but still acceptable. The car's insulation is not up to modern standards.
No snowflake, but good in snow.
Wear is excellent!
Great tires on a 2004 Rav4, AWD. I love the look and the overall grip. No issues whatsoever. Even in the snow it's great! The only drawback is the noise. The tires are there, from 80kph and up there is a significant hummm. Having said that, the insulation of this car is not so good.
Love them for a atr tire it handles road, Texas snow, rain, and south Texas hill country very well. Even at end of life it handles roads very well. I drove them hard but still wish they were slightly even more wear resistant.
Real value for money! Super grip in most circumstances on tarmac. Mix of rural roads and motorway driving. Not so good on gravel (Yes I drive on farm tracks). Wear seems very good, even compared with Michelin or Goodyear!
Extremely harsh ride and continuous vibration issue . This is with the 65 profile sidewall mind you. Poor traction in the wet. Not sure how they're getting such high grades from other testers , but I know that this will be the last pirelli or any other Chinese owned or majority owned brand that I'd waste my money on.
The first couple of years the tires were wonderful. Low noise, good traction, comfortable ride. After 5 years and 50.000km I hit a bad pothole and had a blowout 5 minutes later. Not fault of the tire, the pothole was just atrocious. I replaced them with Laufenn G Fit 2 and the 5 year old Grabber GT were just better than the brand new Laufenn.
