Full Tire Upgrade Guide and TPMS for Toyota Rav4 2019 2020 2021

[@sandeepakasun3470]

Great stuff with full details. Cheers...

[@douglaslin5469]

Its fortunate that the RAV brakes allow smaller wheels. I imagine the wider wheels and the increase in weight, would mean worse fuel consumption. Perhaps also some increase in noise, depending on the tyre. But the ride would be greatly improved. Off road or on sand, with the tyre air pressure lowered, the RAV would go much further. It would be like removing a lot of weight from the whole vehicle, due to the increased footprint of the tyre when you lower the air pressure. But one needs a good tyre compressor to restore the air pressure.

[@dramen68]

Thanks for all the great videos. They certainly helped with some of my modifications and upgrades. I have my (5) RRW RR5-V wheels and plan to have the same tire size set up with either Falken or Toyo installed in a month or so. I see that the Amazon TPMS product you linked has an option to purchase (1) sensor in addition to a set of (4). I'll use that option for my full spare and will buy all five today. Speaking of which, what is the gap height increase for the the deck with your full spare in place? I'm thinking of cutting custom side pieces out of plywood or particle board for either side of the spare wheel well to keep the cargo area flat, even, and supported. I have an all-weather cargo mat that will cover all.

[@rnbzy]

Did you use the same lug nuts or got a new set? If so what size / brand ? I assume the old lug nuts won’t fit that tire

[@akifbayram]

Looks awesome!

[@_noelpascua_]

Keep in mind that the side wall size is the percentage of the width. So for example if you have 245/65/R17 and went to 265/65/R17, the sidewalls would also be bigger. 👌🏼

[@johnowow]

Great info that a lot of people overlook, or also considering the overall height in inches and figuring out what the max is for rav4’s (which should be around 29.5 I believe)

[@jerrylenhart5717]

I like your headliner video. I want to move the spare to an exterior tire carrier and use the original spare cavity for either water supply or additional batteries to power cooking appliances, refrigerator and more. You’re probably going to see a lot of questions from me!

[@Rav4Gen5]

You have some exciting projects also on my list. I want a spare tire carrier but even with a bike carrier right now, I find it annoying to have to move it just to open the hatch so I don't think I'll go that route. If you have a gas model, there is a spot to put a LiFePo battery where the 12v battery goes for the hybrids on the right side cargo. I plan on doing a dual battery in the future but they are expensive right now. There is so much room behind these trim panels, it's amazing. You can catch a view of the battery location here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZXUZaV-pL-IgKs

If you don't want to have the driving experience it's best to stick with stock size tires . Once you go to 245/65/17 it changes the ratios and the transmission will shift differently not to mention your speedometer will be inaccurate

[@seadogdiogo_mylifeinmotion]

hey got a question for ya! I have stock 2021 RAV4 and want to install 17" wheels with 245/65/17 tires....MY CONCERN IS: If I lift the RAV4 1.5 inches at a later date, will this wheel set up leave me with a huge wheel gap or will this wheel-tire size fit well with the lift? OR will a bigger or wider size wheel and tire be more appropriate??? Thanks very much in advance for your opinion! :D.

[@Rav4Gen5]

Good question and that thought did come across my mind too when I was doing this as I also want to lift at a future date. The set up will work but there will be a gap until you install bigger tires. To avoid the potentially weird look, I plan to lift when I need new tires (which could be a long time). You can lift your car with a jack as though your changing the tire out to see how it can look. Go up 1.5 inches and compare before and after.

[@seadogdiogo_mylifeinmotion]

@@Rav4Gen5 Great answer! never thought about lifting it with a jack to check it out! and after the lift, it's just the tire that would make a difference? no need for a bigger wheel right? 17's would do the job with a bigger tire? how big of a tire you think? With a lift, will the sidewall or width of the tire or both be able to increase? cheers

They should work. I think the wheel clearance for all stock Rav4 are very similar to each other. Going with my set up will increase diameter by about 1 inch so your speedometer and odometer will be off but it is not a big deal.

[@robertdelara8722]

Thanks for posting. Did you consider going 235/65R17 to be closer to the stock width and diameter? Also any thoughts on Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail vs the Toyo Open Country AT3? I think a lot of people who own the RAV4 Adventure take 2-3 camping trips a year, and are looking for a more aggressive tire - but not lose too much MPG/comfort for daily driving. Curious how the falken’s ride and the new mpg on your setup. Thanks!

[@Rav4Gen5]

Going with 235/65R17 would have been nice but I started with a rim I liked then worked around that I don't have enough tire experience to provide feedback between Falken and Toyo. Both are probably great. Toyo Open Country AT3 is probably more comparable with Falken Wildpeak A/T3W but I went with a more budget friendly path. I'll comment back after a couple round trip commutes to see if I lost significant MPG. It is not something I track closely. I am going to drive this no matter what the MPG =]
