Understanding the 275/50R20 XL size

In the size code 275/50R20, 275 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.8"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 137.5 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 30.8".

The load index 113 means each tire supports up to 2,535 lbs — about 10,140 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol Q certifies the tire to 99 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.
