265/50R20 tires

265/50R20 is the 20-inch size of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, from the 2011 Limited and Overland through the 2022 and later Limited, and of the three-row Grand Cherokee L. Dodge uses it on the Durango from 2011, including Citadel and R/T trims. Below are real prices for 255 tires in stock, three picks with their size-specific specifications, and how to choose for an SUV that tows.

Grand Cherokee and Durango: buy for the trailer

Both of these SUVs are popular tow vehicles, and towing is where the load index matters. In this size the Milestar and BFGoodrich are standard-load 107 tires, rated 2,149 pounds each, while the Goodyear is an extra-load 111H, rated 2,403 pounds. If you tow near the vehicle's limit, the extra-load tire has more reserve, but only at the higher pressure an XL tire needs; check the tire maker's table and set the rear tires accordingly before a long trip.

Also check the speed rating against your placard. The BFGoodrich is T-rated in this size; check whether your placard calls for a higher rating.

A performance tire on a heavy SUV

The Goodyear premium pick is an ultra-high-performance tire with an asymmetric tread, and it is the one that matches the character of a Durango R/T. The trade-off is in the numbers: a treadwear grade of 300 and only 8/32 inch of tread when new, against 540 and 700 for the other two. On a heavy SUV with a big engine, expect it to need replacing well before the touring tires. If you bought the Grand Cherokee for comfort, the BFGoodrich's 75,000-mile warranty is the better value.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A 265/50R20 tire is 265 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 50 percent of that (about 5.2 inches tall), and it mounts on a 20-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 30.4 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 107V on the Milestar MS932 Sport (2,150 lb per tire, rated to 149 mph), 107T on the BFGoodrich Advantage Control (2,150 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph) and 111H on the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 (2,403 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.

Our three picks, side by side

One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Milestar MS932 Sport, $139.96. A standard-load 107V all-season, graded 540 A A with 10/32 inch of tread and a 60,000-mile warranty. A sensible tire for a Grand Cherokee that is driven on pavement and rarely tows.

BFGoodrich Advantage Control, $236.99. The long-life pick, with BFGoodrich's 75,000-mile warranty for T- and H-rated sizes and the best treadwear grade here, 700. The traction grade is B, and the T speed rating may be below what your placard asks for; check before ordering.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5, $236.96. Goodyear's ultra-high-performance tire with TredLok technology and an asymmetric tread, the match for a Durango R/T. In this size it is an XL 111H with a 300 AA A grade and shallow 8/32 inch tread; the listing shows no mileage warranty.

What 265/50R20 tires cost across the whole range

Of the 321 tires listed in this size, 255 are in stock today. The median is $190.96; a third of the tires cost $160 or less, and the top five percent start above $301.36.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Milestar MS932 Sport, our budget pick here at $139.96, is also stocked in 225/55R19 ($148.99), 235/50R19 ($156.95), 225/40R18 ($90.99) and 225/50R18 ($94.96). The BFGoodrich Advantage Control, our mid-range pick here at $236.99, is also stocked in 235/50R19 ($239.99), 245/40R18 ($211.99) and 255/75R17 ($233.99). The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5, our premium pick here at $236.96, is also stocked in 275/45R21 ($457.96). 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 265/50R20 tires cost?

Expect $124–$160 per tire for a budget brand, $160–$232 for a mid-range tire like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control, and $232–$301 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. A set of four therefore starts at about $496. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 265/50R20 tires?

265/50R20 is original equipment on Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011-2021, Overland/Summit 20 in), Jeep Grand Cherokee (2022-2024, Limited 20 in), Jeep Grand Cherokee L (2021-2024, Limited/Overland), Dodge Durango (2011-2024, Citadel/R/T 20 in), Cadillac Lyriq (2023-2024, 20 in) and Genesis GV80 (2021-2024, 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 265/50R20 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the BFGoodrich Advantage Control, 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 5 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar MS932 Sport is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 265/50R20 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.
