Understanding the 285/30ZR20 XL size

In the size code 285/30R20, 285 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.2"). 30 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 30% of the width, or roughly 85.5 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.7".

The load index 99 means each tire supports up to 1,709 lbs — about 6,836 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol Y certifies the tire to 186 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 500 AA A. The treadwear grade of 500 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 AA 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 $218.99 per tire, a full set of four costs $875.96. That is about 28% below the average price of the 59 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 45,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $19.47 per 1,000 miles across the set.
