What 295/60R20 means

295 is the section width in millimetres (11.6 in). 60 is the aspect ratio: the sidewall is 60% as tall as the tire is wide, which works out to 177.0 mm or 7.0 in. R20 is a radial tire for a 20-inch wheel.

Overall diameter is the wheel plus two sidewalls: 20 + 2 × 6.97 = 33.9 inches. These are the nominal dimensions every maker builds to; a real 295/60R20 can measure a few tenths of an inch differently by model and inflation.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 295/60R20 tire is 33.9 inches (862 mm) tall overall. That is the 20-inch wheel plus two sidewalls of 7.0 inches each (60% of the 295 mm section width). Expect a real tire to measure within a few tenths of an inch of this, depending on the model and inflation.

The section width is 295 mm, or 11.6 inches, measured sidewall to sidewall on the recommended rim width. The tread itself is narrower than that. In flotation sizing, 295/60R20 is roughly a 33.9x11.6R20.

285/75R17 is the closest common size, at -0.3% overall diameter (33.8 in against 33.9 in). Most makers treat about 3% as the limit for a swap without speedometer or clearance problems, but always confirm load index, speed rating and wheel width before changing size.

About 594 revolutions per mile (369 per kilometre), from its 33.9-inch rolling diameter. Real-world figures run slightly higher because a loaded tire squats. This number is what your speedometer and odometer are calibrated against.
