Pressure is **32–36 psi**, set by the wheel type, so read your door-jamb placard. Lug nuts torque to **76 ft-lbf**. Owners also report fitting **235/65R17 and 245/65R17** without a lift. Tire size on a RAV4 depends on year and wheel, and the pressure changes with the wheel type, not just the model. This guide lists what Toyota's owner's manuals specify for each era, then covers what owners fit beyond stock. **Where these numbers come from.** The "Tire and wheel" specifications in Toyota's owner's manuals for the 2013, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2025 RAV4 and the 2022 and 2024 RAV4 Prime. Pressures are the cold pressures listed in the manuals. We did not pull the 2014 to 2015, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026 gas manuals for this table, so years between the manuals we read are inferred from their neighbors. ## 2019–2025 RAV4 (Gas, Fifth Generation) | TIRE SIZE | WHEEL | PRESSURE (COLD) | NOTES | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 225/65R17 102H | 17x7J | 33, 35 or 36 psi depending on wheel type | Spare T165/80R17 or D17 at 60 psi | | 225/60R18 100H | 18x7J | 33 psi | Added in the 2021 and 2022 manuals; spare 17x4T | | 235/55R19 101V | 19x7½J | 33 psi (2025 manual) | In the 2019 manual as well | The manual maps pressure to a wheel **type** (A, B, C or D on the 17 inch wheels), not to a trim level. The door-jamb placard shows the number for the wheels on your vehicle. Use it. ## 2013–2018 RAV4 (Gas, Fourth Generation) | YEARS | TIRE SIZE | WHEEL | PRESSURE (COLD) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2013 | 225/65R17 102H | 17 in | 33 psi | | 2013 | 235/55R18 99H | 18x7½J | 32 psi | | 2016, 2018 | 225/65R17 102H | 17 in | 33 psi | | 2016, 2018 | 235/55R18 100H | 18x7½J | 32 psi | The spare on these years is a compact **T165/80R17 at 60 psi**. ## RAV4 Prime (2021–2025) | TIRE SIZE | WHEEL | PRESSURE (COLD) | SPARE | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 225/60R18 100H | 18x7J | 33 psi | T165/80R17 (2022) or T165/90D18 (2024) | | 235/55R19 101V | 19x7½J | 35 psi | 18x4T | ## Lug Nut Torque and Wheel Details - **Lug nut torque:** **76 ft-lbf** in every manual we read, 2013 through 2025. - **Bolt pattern:** the manuals do not print it. It is widely published as 5x114.3 mm, but we did not confirm it from a Toyota document. ## Bigger Tires: What Owners Report Owners in the RAV4 forums report fitting **235/65R17 and 245/65R17** all-terrain tires such as the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail on stock 17 inch wheels with no lift and no rubbing. These are owner reports, not Toyota-approved sizes. Taller tires change speedometer accuracy and can affect stability control and fuel economy; owners commonly report losing roughly 2–3 mpg on A/T tires. Test-fit and check clearance at full lock before you commit, particularly on AWD models. *Links below are affiliate links: toyotadata earns a commission from VEVOR and, as an Amazon Associate, from qualifying Amazon purchases, at no extra cost to you.* | ITEM | USED FOR | BUY | | --- | --- | --- | | Milton digital tire inflator with gauge | Set pressure to the door-jamb placard, cold | [Shop on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097RWW2PX?tag=1434042-20) | | 1/2 in drive click-type torque wrench, up to 150 ft-lb | Lug nuts torque to 76 ft-lbf on every RAV4 manual we read | [Shop on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=1/2+inch+drive+click+torque+wrench+150+ft+lb&tag=1434042-20) | | Tire tread depth gauge | Checks wear when you rotate every 5,000 miles | [Shop on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=tire+tread+depth+gauge&tag=1434042-20) | ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What size tires does a Toyota RAV4 take? 225/65R17 on the base wheel, 225/60R18 on the 18 inch wheel (2021 and newer gas, and the Prime), and 235/55R19 on the 19 inch wheel. 2013–2018 trucks use 225/65R17 or 235/55R18. ### What is the correct tire pressure for a RAV4? 32 to 36 psi cold, depending on the wheel type.
