About this guide
255/45R20 is a fitment shared by performance sedans, SUVs, and crossovers (Audi Q5, SRT-trim Chrysler 300/Charger/Challenger, and others), and pricing in this large, low-profile size runs well above smaller tire sizes across every brand. Below are seven real all-season tires in this exact size, with prices checked at the time of writing — a genuinely narrower field than a common size like 17-inch, since fewer lines are built out to 255/45R20.

Buying tips
- 255/45R20 shows up on performance sedans, SUVs, and crossovers alike — confirm your vehicle’s actual load rating requirement (standard vs. XL) before ordering, since both are sold in this size.
- This size runs consistently more expensive than smaller sizes across every brand here; a $200+ per-tire price in this size isn’t a premium markup, it’s the going rate for a 20-inch low-profile all-season.
- If your vehicle came with a run-flat tire from the factory, check your owner’s manual before switching to a non-run-flat option — some vehicles in this size aren’t equipped with a spare.
