About the 275/45R20 Tire

The 275/45R20 is a common tire size for SUVs and crossovers such as Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Ford Explorer.

With a 123.8 mm sidewall (45% aspect ratio), this tire offers a balanced blend of ride comfort and handling precision — versatile for both city driving and spirited cornering.

Compared to the baseline 265/50R20, this tire's overall diameter differs by -2.3% — a speedometer calibrated for 265/50R20 would read 102.3 km/h at an actual 100 km/h.

OE on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (958 20" pkg, paired with 305/40R20 rear) and various performance-SUV front fitments. Load index 110Y or 114Y reinforced. Performance-SUV front fitment; rear pairs are typically 305/40R20 or 315/35R21.

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.
