Understanding the 275/45R20 XL size

In the size code 275/45R20, 275 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.8"). 45 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 45% of the width, or roughly 123.8 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 29.7".

The load index 110 means each tire supports up to 2,337 lbs — about 9,348 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.

What the Pirelli Scorpion Winter is built for

The Pirelli Scorpion Winter is a winter tire, using a cold-weather compound that stays pliable below 45°F (7°C) where all-season rubber hardens and loses grip. It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. Run-flat construction lets you keep driving a limited distance at reduced speed after a loss of pressure. Fitment category: Passenger Car, SUV/CUV.
