Royal Black Racing Trac 255/35R20

The Royal Black Racing Trac is a high-performance all-season tire built for passenger vehicles. It fits a 20-inch rim with a 255-millimetre section width and a 35-series aspect ratio. The 97W XL rating supports a load index of 97 and a maximum speed of 168 mph.

UTQG 420AA compound and 7/32 tread depth

The 420 treadwear rating indicates a compound designed for extended mileage under daily driving rather than maximum grip in short bursts. An AA traction grade shows strong wet braking capability. The 7/32-inch starting depth provides a usable tread reserve for sustained all-season performance.

Black sidewall XL construction

The XL-rated casing uses a 4-ply equivalent structure to handle higher inflation pressures for heavy loads. BSW black sidewalls give a clean appearance without white lettering. Run-flat technology is not included, so standard puncture repair or a spare remains necessary.

Questions about this item

How much road noise and heat should I expect from the Royal Black Racing Trac 255/35R20 97W XL during daily all-season driving?

The 420AA UTQG rating and 7/32 tread depth indicate a balanced all-season compound that runs quietly on highways and manages heat well at sustained speeds up to 168 mph.

Do I need a specific wheel width to mount the 255/35R20 97W XL tire safely?

This tire fits 20-inch rims; the 255 mm section width and XL load range require a wheel width approved by the manufacturer for 255/35R20 fitment.

Will the 255/35R20 97W XL tire work with my car's original suspension and braking hardware?

The 27-inch overall diameter and load index 97 match many factory specifications for passenger vehicles, so the tire installs without suspension or brake clearance changes.
