275/45/20 Tires

Does anyone know whether or not GoodYear is the only company that makes a 275/45/20 tire. I've been searching everywhere to find another brand. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Mike

Try 265/50-20s they're the same height and I think there is more selection. I know Falken makes them in that size. And they are cheaper then the Goodyears

mikey, that 275/45R20 is the only size I know that is in 20in. It's a great long lasting tire and cost of it is great. In addition, the model is Eagle GT2. Even though is not a high performance looking, but still a popular tires used for a 20in.

99ExplorerSport is right with the 265/50R20, the overall diameter is around 30in. But if you decide to get something else than the 275/45R20 GY Eagle GT2's. You are going to pay more. I know Yokohama's AVS, Falken's, and Toyo's tires have the 265 sizes.

Goodyear 275/45R20's price somewhere around $150 a tire.

All other Brands and sizes over $250-up a pop.

I would like to go with a performance tire like Toyo in the 265 size, but for the price it's just not worth it. I"m probably just gonna go with the Goodyear 275/45s. Just waiting for tax returns then I can buy some tires


Thanks guys
