305/55R20 designates a tire 305 mm (12.0") wide with a sidewall 55% as tall as it is wide — about 168 mm (6.6") — mounted on a 20-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 33.2", a circumference of about 104.3", and approximately 607 revolutions per mile. Exact figures vary slightly by manufacturer and tread design.
Of the 49 305/55R20 tire models we track, the most common category is all-terrain (47 models), followed by highway all-season truck (2) — a good indicator of the kind of vehicles and driving this size is designed for.
