20-Inch Tires If your vehicle has the optional 20-inch P275/55R20 size tires, they are classiﬁed as touring tires and are designed for on road use. The low-proﬁle, wide tread design is not recommended for "off-road" driving or commercial uses such as snow plowing. See Off-Road Driving on page 372 and Adding a Snow Plow or Similar Equipment on page 416 for additional information. Tire Sidewall Labeling Useful information about a tire is molded into the sidewall. The following illustrations are examples of a typical P-Metric and a LT-Metric tire sidewall. Passenger (P-Metric) Tire (A) Tire Size: The tire size code is a combination of letters and numbers used to deﬁne a particular tire's width, height, aspect ratio, construction type, and service description. See the "Tire Size" illustration later in this section for more detail. 544
