What summer and winter tyres would you recommend?

The tyres fitted to my 2019 Toyota RAV 4 are rubbish. Can you suggest good grip tyres for normal wear and winter tyres as I go to the farm often in the winter?

Answered by David Ross

Assuming your Toyota is fitted with 225/60R18 tyres, we would suggest the Avon ZX7 or the Uniroyal RainExpert 5 summer tyres, both of which are A-rated for wet grip.

As for winter tyres, we would recommend the Vredestein Wintrac Pro or the Continental Winter Contact TS870 P.
