Understanding the 265/50R20 XL size

In the size code 265/50R20, 265 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.4"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 132.5 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 30.4".

The load index 111 means each tire supports up to 2,403 lbs — about 9,612 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol V certifies the tire to 149 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 460 A A. The treadwear grade of 460 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $174.75 per tire, a full set of four costs $699.00. That is about 10% below the average price of the 107 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 40,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $17.48 per 1,000 miles across the set.
