Understanding the 255/40R20 XL size

In the size code 255/40R20, 255 is the section width in millimetres (about 10"). 40 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 40% of the width, or roughly 102 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 28".

The load index 101 means each tire supports up to 1,819 lbs — about 7,276 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 is built for

The Pirelli Scorpion is a summer tire, tuned for maximum dry and wet grip in warm conditions; it is not intended for near-freezing temperatures. It is classified for highway terrain(h/t) use.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 400 AA A. The treadwear grade of 400 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 $257.18 per tire, a full set of four costs $1028.72. That sits close to the average for the 93 tires we stock in this size.
