It is always wise to check a vehicle owners manual for any guidance or restrictions regarding use of tire chains. Some versions of a vehicle may be able to use chains while another version might not be able to use them; other cars may be able to use chains with only one specific tire size installed on the vehicle. I reviewed an online edition of the manual for your 2016 RAV4 Hybrid and it indicates low-profile S-Class chains can be installed on the front tires only. Check your printed owner's manual in case it differs from the online version.

The linked page displays all low-profile S-Class chains for your 225/65-R17 tire size. The most cost-effective option is the Konig chain set # TH01594245. These chains have several key features that will make them easier to use such as automatic tension control and rim protection.
