At the moment it is fitted with 215 70 R 16 100H tyres.I have been offered a good deal on a full set of 215 65 AT 16 98H.what is the difference between the two!.compatable or not!

The 65s are slightly smaller in diameter (lower profile), you can use them as long as you change all 4 tyres and your speedo will be out a fraction.

Mugenbob has it spot on. Ravs dont like different size tyres- damages the trans. 5% height in the profile will make the car travel very slightly slower than the speedo reckons, so yr safe from radar guns and cops! lol Do all 4 tyres tho.

Some of them aren't 4WD so probably can have different tyre sizes front and back!Not that it's a good idea anyway.
difference of-3km/hr at 100 km/hr - if they're all inflated correctly, if you put another 2psi in them there'd be not difference at all

What year is your Rav.If its a early 1994-1999 with automatic transmission (dont know about the newer ones) just check to make sure the inside of the left front tyre does not rub on the transmission hump (have a look under the left front gaurd).I would assume a lower profile will upset the speedo slightly and increase your fuel consumption slightly as the lower profile means slightly lower gearing (slight increase in RPM at 100 km/h for example)(may go up hills slightly better though)but its probably only marginal,hardly worth the change in my opinion lol.
