The 265/50R20 is a common tire size for SUVs and crossovers such as Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Ford Explorer.
With a 132.5 mm sidewall (50% aspect ratio), this tire offers a balanced blend of ride comfort and handling precision — versatile for both city driving and spirited cornering.
This is one of the most popular tire sizes for 20" rims, frequently used as a reference point when comparing speedometer accuracy across similar sizes.
OE on the Range Rover Sport (L494 HSE 20") and similar full-size luxury SUV 20" packages. Load index 111V or 115W reinforced. Wide 265 mm footprint absorbs the curb weight of full-size luxury SUVs.
Large-rim luxury-SUV sizes prioritize acoustic refinement and curb-weight load capacity over off-road versatility. Self-sealing and runflat constructions are common OE on these fitments; replacing a runflat with a conventional tire requires confirming the TPMS module and spare-tire provisioning since most platforms ship without a spare. Air-suspension calibration is also tied to rolling diameter — staying within ±1% of OE is recommended on Range Rover and BMW X5/X7 platforms.
