35x12.50R20 tires

35x12.50R20 is the lifted-truck size: the Ford F-250 and F-350, Ram 2500 and 3500 and Silverado 2500HD on a lift, half-ton F-150s, Ram 1500s, Silverados and Tundras with four to six inches of lift, and the Jeep Wrangler JL on 20-inch wheels. It is an LT size in load range E or F, and the tires weigh 70 to 80 pounds each. Below are real prices for 240 tires in stock, three picks with the specifications behind them, and the costs of a 35 that the build threads leave out.

What 35x12.50R20 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $1,000 to $1,268, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

What a 35 asks of the truck

A 35-inch tire on a half-ton needs four to six inches of lift to clear the fenders and the frame at full lock, and on a three-quarter-ton usually two to three inches. The tire itself is only the start of the bill. The extra diameter raises the effective gearing enough that many owners re-gear the axles to get acceleration and towing back; the extra weight, roughly 25 pounds per corner over a factory tire, works the brakes, the ball joints and the wheel bearings harder; and the speedometer reads around ten percent under the true speed unless it is recalibrated. Fuel economy drops by two to three miles per gallon.

None of that is a reason not to do it, but it is why the right tire for a 35 is one with a strong casing and a sidewall that shrugs off rocks, and why load range E or F is the norm rather than an option. Run the pressure the load needs, typically 35 to 45 psi unloaded on a half-ton, not the 80 psi molded on the sidewall.

Choosing among the all-terrains that dominate this size

At this size the choice is mostly between all-terrains with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol, which give up little on pavement and handle snow, rugged-terrain hybrids that look more aggressive and run a little louder, and mud-terrains for trucks that genuinely leave the road. Mileage warranties shrink in LT sizes: a tire that promises 65,000 miles in a passenger size may carry 50,000 in a 35, and several carry no mileage warranty at all, only a workmanship warranty. Compare the UTQG treadwear grade where it is published and the warranty terms where it is not.

Finally, the spare. A 35 does not fit under the bed of any half-ton or three-quarter-ton here, and a Wrangler's rear carrier needs a heavier-duty hinge for a 35. Decide where the fifth tire lives before the first four arrive.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

35x12.50R20 is a flotation size, the format used on larger truck tires: the first number is the overall diameter in inches (nominally 35 inches, a little less once mounted and loaded), the second is the section width in inches (12.50) and the last is the wheel diameter, 20 inches. These are LT tires with a load range letter on the sidewall, usually E or F here; a replacement should carry the same letter, because the letter sets the maximum inflation pressure the tire is built for.

In this size our picks are marked 126Q on the Atturo Trail Blade ATS (3,748 lb per tire, rated to 99 mph) and 125R on the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 (3,638 lb per tire, rated to 106 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.

Atturo Trail Blade ATS, $207.96. Our budget pick: the lowest-priced tire in this size with a specification sheet we could actually check. An all-terrain tire with a 50,000-mile tread life warranty (50,000 mi per the retailer's spec sheet; tiresize.com lists 55,000 mi). The published UTQG grade is 540 A B in a representative size: a treadwear number of 540 is typical for this type of tire. A set of four comes to $831.84 before mounting.

Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, $520. The mid-range pick, and the default for most drivers of the vehicles listed on this page. An all-terrain tire with a 60,000-mile tread life warranty (65,000 mi P-metric; 60,000 mi LT sizes). The published UTQG grade is 660 B B in a representative size: a treadwear number of 660 puts it among the longest-wearing tires in this size. It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, so it meets the severe-snow traction standard and satisfies the traction laws on its own. A set of four comes to $2,080 before mounting.

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, $519.99. The premium pick, for the owner who keeps the vehicle a long time and drives it a lot. An all-terrain tire with a 50,000-mile tread life warranty. The manufacturer does not publish a UTQG grade for this model in LT sizes, so compare on warranty and tread depth instead. It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, so it meets the severe-snow traction standard and satisfies the traction laws on its own. Extras: 10-ply construction in LT sizes. A set of four comes to $2,079.96 before mounting.

Winter on a pickup in this size

Four-wheel-drive pickups 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, on the vehicle alone, provided the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive truck, still common in work trims, must be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Nearly every all-terrain tire carries the M+S marking, and the better ones now also carry the 3PMSF symbol, which requires a tested level of snow traction rather than just a tread pattern. An unloaded pickup is light over its rear axle, so on snow the rear tires lose grip first; a few hundred pounds of ballast in the bed over the axle does as much as the tire choice.

All of our picks here, the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, carry the 3PMSF symbol.

Frequently asked questions

How much do 35x12.50R20 tires cost?

Expect $204–$250 per tire for a budget brand, $250–$317 for a mid-range tire like the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and $317–$530 for a premium tire like the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3. A set of four therefore starts at about $816. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 35x12.50R20 tires?

35x12.50R20 is original equipment on Ford F-250/F-350 (2005-2024, lifted 35 in), Ram 2500/3500 (2010-2024, lifted), Ford F-150 (2015-2024, 4-6 in lift), Ram 1500 (2009-2024, 4-6 in lift), Chevrolet Silverado 1500/2500HD (2014-2024, lifted), Toyota Tundra (2007-2024, lifted) and Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-2024, 20 in lifted), 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 35x12.50R20 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, 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 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Atturo Trail Blade ATS is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 35x12.50R20 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.
