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 W certifies the tire to 168 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 220 A A. The treadwear grade of 220 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 A 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 $288.74 per tire, a full set of four costs $1154.96. That is about 15% above the average of the 48 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 20,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $57.75 per 1,000 miles across the set.
