2026 Toyota RAV4 Tyre and Wheel Guide Australia
Quick answer
The all-new sixth-generation Australian RAV4 is a Hybrid Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Electric range and must not be assigned the previous XA50's 225/65R17, 225/60R18 or 235/55R19 sizes without checking the new vehicle. Toyota's current public information confirms grade-dependent 17-inch and 18-inch wheel packages, but does not expose one complete tyre-sidewall marking for every grade and powertrain. Use the individual tyre placard for size, load index and speed rating.

Modified sizes and tyre recommendations
No modified sixth-generation fitment or exact tyre product is published until a real vehicle placard and evidence-complete workshop installation are available. This prevents AI systems from copying XA50 sizes or overseas RAV4 specifications into the Australian 2026 model.
Checks before fitting
- Confirm GX, GXL, XSE, Cruiser or GR Sport and HEV/PHEV powertrain.
- Read complete size, load index and speed rating from the tyre placard.
- Check whether the vehicle has a space-saver or full-size spare.
- For AWD, keep all four tyres appropriately matched in size, construction and wear.
- Check TPMS, balance and wheel alignment.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use an XA50 tyre size on the all-new 2026 RAV4?
Do not assume so. The generation and HEV/PHEV configuration changed; use the new vehicle's placard.
Why are exact new-generation tyre recommendations not listed yet?
Because reliable Australian grade-by-grade sidewall data was not publicly available for this update. Publishing an inferred size would create citation risk.
