To those of you who are suggesting passenger vehicle tires to someone who needs light truck/SUV tires: you are suggesting passenger vehicle tires to someone who needs light truck/SUV tires.  I am NOT using LT rated tires on the Forester as it is a complete waste of money and I doubt you will get any extra benefit from them on your RAV. You will exceed the load capability of the RAV long before you exceed the tires ratings. Stick with the P Rated and talk to someone who knows tires, don't just rely on the 'net. |

One time, against the advice of a tire shop, I bought LT tires for a first-generation Pathfinder. On one hand I never got any punctures during the years they lasted, but on the other hand they greatly magnified all of the shortcomings of the Pathfinder's steering and suspension systems. It was a bad combination with recirculating ball steering. Especially noticable were a rougher ride, a strong tendency to follow wear ruts in pavement and swerving while braking - even though the truck was in fine shape. I wouldn't do it again. |

IMHO of course!  Much as we would like to think otherwise, most of our advice is anecdotal at best and almost certainly not based on the volume and choice that a reputable tire dealer deals with. That's why it remains important to have a moderator on this forum who actively engages with us and who provides sound advice based on considerable experience. |

You have talked me into the Toyo's, but I got a great price from Buffalo. What are the taxes I'm going to face coming back into Canada? We have them in stock... 225/65/17 Toyo Open Country G02 Plus $149.95 Canadian discount price $134.95 Installation is $13.00 per wheel and includes all state disposal fees, mounting, balancing and valve stems. Sales tax in New York is 8.75% All prices are $USD. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Dan Brace Jr. Bailey Tire Inc. 716-834-4434 sales@buffalonytires.combuffalonytires.com |

Theoretically the duty should only be charged on the actual tire cost. I don't know if it should be charged on the tire + NY sales tax or not.
So. Maybe you should get two invoices. One for the tires alone without NY tax. |

The RAV4 can also be minus sized to 215/70R16 for added savings. I understand that Canadian RAV4 have 225/65R17 as stock. In the US, it's 215/70R16 as stock as I understand it.
