Understanding the LT275/55R20 E size

In the size code 275/55R20, 275 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.8"). 55 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 55% of the width, or roughly 151.3 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 31.9".

The load index 120 means each tire supports up to 3,086 lbs — about 12,344 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol R certifies the tire to 106 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

The Hercules TIS RT1 is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. It is classified for rugged-terrain (r/t) (m/t & r/t - mainly lt specific) use.
