2025 Toyota Rav4 Tires Problems

Your rear passenger tire blew out while driving at 70 mph on the highway, though you were able to stop safely. The dealership replaced the tire but found no puncture or road hazard—instead, the tire split at the shoulder and sidewall area. This happened on a brand-new car with only 4,397 miles. The tire may need to be inspected by the manufacturer or replaced under warranty due to the manufacturing defect.

Your tire's sidewall cracked randomly while you were driving on the interstate at night, without hitting any debris or potholes that would explain the damage. The sidewall is the part of the tire between the tread and the rim, and cracks there can lead to tire failure. You'll likely need to replace the affected tire.

While driving on the interstate at 60 mph, you heard a loud noise followed by a thump. When you pulled over, you discovered that the sidewall of your tire had separated from the tread—a condition called delamination. This happened on your original equipment tires at just 5,343 miles. The tire will need to be replaced, and you may want to have a tire shop or Toyota dealer inspect it to determine the cause of the premature failure.

While driving at 70 MPH on a highway, your rear passenger tire separated from the rim and became completely detached. You safely pulled over to the shoulder, and roadside assistance replaced it with your spare tire. The manufacturer declined to help, stating they couldn't assist without the detached tire as evidence. The fix will require either a tire replacement or rim inspection to determine why the tire lost its seal.
