Understanding the 255/55R20 XL 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 110 means each tire supports up to 2,337 lbs — about 9,348 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 700 B A. The treadwear grade of 700 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 B 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 $179.99 per tire, a full set of four costs $719.96. That is about 13% below the average price of the 101 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 75,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $9.60 per 1,000 miles across the set.
