I am a service advisor for a Big-O in Colorado. What may have happend in your rotation is what I encourage all tire techs to check. Tread depth. In the case of your Rav4 which is front wheel drive, unless put into 4-wheel drive, is that your drive wheels on the front tend to wear out tires sooner than on the rear. Bearing that in mind for best tire life of the set of tires it would be better to have best tread on front. Or with new findings about vehichle handling it is better to have best tread on rear during a hydro-plane sittuation as it will help keep the car in a straight line.
