Understanding the 295/30ZR20 XL size

In the size code 295/30R20, 295 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.6"). 30 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 30% of the width, or roughly 88.5 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 27".

The load index 101 means each tire supports up to 1,819 lbs — about 7,276 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol W certifies the tire to 168 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 560 A A. 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 A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $201.75 per tire, a full set of four costs $807.00. That is about 37% below the average price of the 39 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $13.45 per 1,000 miles across the set.
