Understanding the 255/55R20 size

In the size code 255/55R20, 255 is the section width in millimetres (about 10"). 55 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 55% of the width, or roughly 140.3 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 31".

The load index 107 means each tire supports up to 2,149 lbs — about 8,596 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol H certifies the tire to 130 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 720 A A. The treadwear grade of 720 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 $191.99 per tire, a full set of four costs $767.96. That sits close to the average for the 101 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $10.97 per 1,000 miles across the set.
