245/50R20 tires

245/50R20 is the upper-trim wheel size of the three-row family crossover. The Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade use it from 2020, the Subaru Ascent from 2019, the Honda Pilot from 2016 to 2022, the Ford Edge from 2015, the Chrysler Pacifica in Limited and Pinnacle trims and the 2017 to 2020 Acura MDX. Below are real prices for 197 tires in stock, three picks with their size-specific specifications, and a way to spend less on the next set.

What 245/50R20 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $568 to $932, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

The 18-inch alternative on the same vehicles

Every one of the Telluride, Palisade, Ascent and Pilot was also sold on 18-inch wheels with 245/60R18 tires, and the two sizes are almost exactly the same height: about 29.6 inches. That means a set of factory 18-inch wheels from a lower trim bolts on without changing the speedometer, and the brakes cleared them from the factory. The 18-inch tires are usually cheaper, and the taller sidewall rides more softly over broken pavement and is far less likely to bend a wheel in a pothole.

Many owners use exactly that trick for a winter set. If you do, keep the tire pressure sensors in mind: the second set of wheels needs its own.

Load index 102 and a full car

All three of our picks are rated 102 in this size, a standard-load rating of 1,874 pounds per tire. Compare that number with the one on your door placard before anything else: a replacement may match or exceed it, never fall below it. A three-row crossover with every seat filled and a loaded cargo area asks a lot of each tire, so keep the pressure at the door-jamb figure rather than the lower number some drivers choose for comfort. Underinflation on a heavy vehicle shows up first as worn shoulders on the front tires.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A 245/50R20 tire is 245 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 50 percent of that (about 4.8 inches tall), and it mounts on a 20-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 29.6 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.

In this size our picks are marked 102V on the Kelly Edge Sport and Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive (1,874 lb per tire, rated to 149 mph) and 102H on the Falken Ziex ZE001 (1,874 lb per tire, rated to 130 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.

Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.

What 245/50R20 tires cost across the whole range

Of the 236 tires listed in this size, 197 are in stock today. The median is $193.99; a third of the tires cost $141.96 or less, and the top five percent start above $290.99. Those are per-tire prices before mounting and balancing, which adds $15 to $45 per tire at most shops, read from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Kelly Edge Sport, our budget pick here at $164.96, is also stocked in 245/45R19 ($183.96). Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber.

Winter on an SUV in this size

Most SUVs in this size are all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which is enough to satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, as long as the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive version must instead be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Four driven wheels help you pull away, not stop: a heavy SUV on worn all-seasons needs much more road to brake on snow than the same vehicle on a tire with the 3PMSF symbol, so in the snow belt choose the tire, not just the drivetrain.

Frequently asked questions

How much do 245/50R20 tires cost?

Expect $105–$142 per tire for a budget brand, $142–$233 for a mid-range tire like the Falken Ziex ZE001, and $233–$291 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive. A set of four therefore starts at about $420. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 245/50R20 tires?

245/50R20 is original equipment on Kia Telluride (2020-2024, EX/SX), Hyundai Palisade (2020-2024, Limited/Calligraphy), Subaru Ascent (2019-2024, Limited/Touring), Honda Pilot (2016-2022, Touring/Elite), Honda Passport (2019-2024, Elite/TrailSport), Ford Edge (2015-2024, Titanium/ST-Line), Chrysler Pacifica (2017-2024, Limited/Pinnacle) and Acura MDX (2014-2020, Advance), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.

What is the best 245/50R20 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Falken Ziex ZE001, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Kelly Edge Sport is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 245/50R20 tires?

On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
