What RAV do you have?
If you fill in some details in your profile it will be easier to make suggestions.

I recently put a set of Avon ZX7s on our 4.2 after some research. So far they are proving to be a good choice and National Tyres fitted them on the drive for a very good price. I've also had good experience with Cooper tyres in the past.

Not overly expensive either. They are a proper all season tyre very quiet and good mileage. |

When I had my RAVs, I used Falken - an excellent tyre and now I have a Volvo XC90, I've started swapping over to Falkens. I did have Avon but they wore away very quickly...it is a heavy car though.

Good man......replace all 4 asap......you are running on Linglang Ditchfinder GTs..........no need to go actual PREMIUM though......many suggestions above are spot on, but also add Goodyear Ultragrip and anything from Yokohama range.

When I have to change the tyres on my car, there will only be the one choice  On my new Motorhome, even though I had plenty of tread on the tyres (maybe done a few thousand miles only), I decided to replace the tyres all round with the Cross-climates. The perfect tyre for all year round use. |

When I buy new tyres again they will be front runners. |

I came across this YouTube review of All Season Tyres for 2020:
As with all these things it should be taken with a pinch of salt but does show how the world of tyre technology has moved on in the last few years ...
