Sugestion on Tires For Rav 4
 

The Yokohama 225-65-17 are wearing out at 30,000 miles on my daughters Rav 4. I want to replace them with another set of all season tires, any suggestions?

Tire Rack is suggesting the following:

Yokohama AVID V4S (High Performance All-Season) http://www.tirerack.com/images/headers/stars/4.5.gif

B, is she driving in real snow in winter, or mostly cleared roads in temperate
climes? I thought I recall she was in VT in winter?

If no serious snow, the Yokos win hands down, compared to the
mini van tires from GY, imo.

Yes VT in winter

Blue,
I had a set of Yoko Advans on my last co. car: good tire for dry and wet,
not very good for greater NYC and Orange Cty in winter with snow, eg.
Rt 17 in winter.

This newer gen tire is better in all ways, I am sure, but I would not call it
an "all season" tire; maybe a 3 season tire. I don't recall if your D's RAV
was 4 wd capable, but I would think it's a stretch for serious usage as
a "winter" tire in VT, but I don't live there.

The original equipment was :

Yokohama Geolandar G91A (Highway All-Season)
for 2007 Toyota RAV4 Limited 4wd V6 http://www.tirerack.com/images/headers/stars/3.5.gif

• Size: 225/65R17
• Blackwall
• Serv. Desc: 101H
• UTQG: Treadwear: 280
  Traction: B
  Temperature: A280 B A

• Price: $168.00 (each)

They did fine in the snow with the cars 4 wheel drive, do you think that they are more of a snow tire?
