Highway tyres for RAV V6

I had Yoko Geolander H/T's when I bought my Cruiser and they wore out really fast Only got 35,000k out of the front two

In contrast my BFG A/T's have done 60,000k ,mostly towing and still have a lot of life left.

You would find them a bit noisy and overkill on a RAV 4 I think

I think these days the tyres are alot softer then years ago. My wife has a yaris sedan we bought new, weighs just on the tonne so very little weight, the tyres were screwed after 30 thou, most prados running the grantreks seem to chew out fairly quick to BUT they are super quit on the road/freeway. If not using it for any off road purposes then I would stick to a road tyre, alot quiter and less resistance so will help with fuel economy. Kumho and Toyo had a failry good write up a while ago about value for money but cant say as I have never had them. Bridgestone I think are a bit over rated for the money. Regards Steve

You'll find most H/T's will have less tread depth and softer compound than A/T's, so don't expect alot of k's from them. A FWD vehicle of that mass is going to wear tyres.
I'll second the Yokie's.. underated tyre. Toyo also. Toyo's of always had a reasonably good rep for longevity.

We have a V6 RAV4 also and we should get just over 40 000 km out of our Bridgestones. On our previous vehicle (Mazda Tribute) we had Cooper tyres fitted as the second tyres and they seemed to go well but we never wore them out before selling it so cannot say how many km we might have got.

We will either fit Bridgestone again or Coopers.

We've found city driving wear tyres out much quicker. We got about 100 000km out of BFG ATs on our 80 Series but never got anywhere near that with our Troopy which was used for some city driving but mostly touring, towing and off road stuff.

Hi
Fitted Cooper CS4 to our Honda CRV some years ago.Mostly country work on sealed roads. Have done 80000k so far and will probably get to 100000k
Very happy. Original tyres lasted for 50000k.
Have no connection to Cooper. Have heard many horror stories but on the smaller SUVs they work well.
