Stiff Steering Wheel?

[scatty]

Hey guys,

i have a 2010 rav4 US version. According to google, my car has an electric steering system.

Not sure if this is by design or not but the steering wheel is harder to turn than on my mom's 2007 Rav4. Do I have a steering wheel problem?

I used to drive a 98 mercedes 320 and my steering on this 2010 rav4 is harder I say 50% more than on the benz.

Thanks in advance.

It could be the tyres or tyre pressure scatty but there were some slight difference in the steering settings of post 2009 models.
