107 or 110: a heavy SUV needs the right one

The size is sold as 107 standard-load and 110 extra-load, and the vehicles on this page are heavy, especially the Land Rovers. A 110 tire carries 2,337 pounds against 2,150 for a 107. Our budget and premium picks are listed as 110, the Falken as 107. Check your placard: a Range Rover or a loaded Aviator may call for 110, and then the 107 version does not qualify.

At about 31 inches tall and 10 inches wide, the size gives these SUVs a planted feel on the highway. It also turns 650 times per mile, the same as 255/65R18, so the speedometer reads the same on either.

Winter on a 20-inch SUV

Many owners of these vehicles live in snow country and drive them all year. Our mid-range pick, the Falken Aklimate, is an all-weather tire with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol, which means it meets the severe-snow standard and satisfies the traction laws without a second set. The Kelly and the Goodyear are all-seasons.

On the Land Rovers, check the sidewall of the original tires for a carmaker's approval marking. It indicates a tire tuned for the car; it is not required, but it is the easiest way to get the original ride back.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A 255/55R20 tire is 255 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 55 percent of that (about 5.5 inches tall), and it mounts on a 20-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 31 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 110H on the Kelly Edge Touring Plus (2,337 lb per tire, rated to 130 mph), 110V on the Falken Aklimate (2,337 lb per tire, rated to 149 mph) and 110W on the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV AT (2,337 lb per tire, rated to 168 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 255/55R20 tires cost across the whole range

Of the 205 tires listed in this size, 171 are in stock today. The median is $218.99; a third of the tires cost $176.99 or less, and the top five percent start above $357.99. 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.

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 255/55R20 tires cost?

Expect $123–$177 per tire for a budget brand, $177–$254 for a mid-range tire like the Falken Aklimate, and $254–$358 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV AT. A set of four therefore starts at about $492. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 255/55R20 tires?

255/55R20 is original equipment on Ford Explorer (2020-2024, Limited/Platinum), Chevrolet Traverse (2018-2024, RS/Premier), Buick Enclave (2018-2024, Essence/Avenir), Lincoln Aviator (2020-2024, 20 in), Land Rover Range Rover (2013-2021, 20 in), Land Rover Range Rover Sport (2014-2022, 20 in), Land Rover Discovery (2017-2024, 20 in) and Toyota Grand Highlander (2024, Limited/Platinum 20 in), 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 255/55R20 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Falken Aklimate, 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 Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV AT is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Kelly Edge Touring Plus is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 255/55R20 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.
