Understanding the 275/55R20 XL size

In the size code 275/55R20, 275 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.8"). 55 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 55% of the width, or roughly 151.3 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 31.9".

The load index 117 means each tire supports up to 2,833 lbs — about 11,332 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol T certifies the tire to 118 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Nexen Roadian AT PRO RA8 is built for

It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 560 A B. The treadwear grade of 560 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 B reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $176.25 per tire, a full set of four costs $705.00. That is about 13% below the average price of the 156 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $14.10 per 1,000 miles across the set.
