About the 275/55R20 Tire

The 275/55R20 is a common tire size for SUVs and crossovers such as Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Ford Explorer.

With a 151.3 mm sidewall (55% 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 +4.9% — a speedometer calibrated for 265/50R20 would read 95.4 km/h at an actual 100 km/h.

OE on the Toyota Tundra (2015+ X-Series 20" wheels uniformly use this size), Ford F-150 Lariat and GMC Sierra 1500 Denali model years from 2007+. Load index 113H-113T in P-metric; 117T in LT load range E. Premium-truck staple — both highway and A-T patterns broadly stocked.

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.
