The Mirage MR-HP-172 255/50 R20 is a 20-inch XL size within the MR-HP172 range, developed for crossover and luxury SUV applications that require this specification. Mirage lists this exact version with a 109V XL service description. The tyre combines a 255 mm section width, a 50 aspect ratio, radial construction and a 20-inch rim diameter.
The MR-HP-172 pattern uses an asymmetric tread arrangement with different functions across the inner and outer tread zones. Wide circumferential grooves help clear water from the contact patch during wet driving, while the outer rib and shoulder structure is intended to support cornering grip and steering stability. Mirage also specifies a silica-enriched tread compound designed to support traction on wet and dry roads while contributing to lower rolling resistance.
Lower Profile 20-Inch SUV Configuration
With a 50 profile, this tyre has a nominal sidewall height of approximately 127.5 mm, calculated as half of the 255 mm section width. It therefore has less sidewall than the 255/55 R18 and 255/55 R19 versions of the same pattern. Combined with the 20-inch wheel, this creates a lower-profile tyre package with different overall dimensions and fitment requirements.
For Pakistani vehicles equipped with manufacturer-approved 20-inch wheels, the 255/50 R20 can provide the MR-HP-172's road-focused tread characteristics in a large-wheel configuration. The asymmetric tread and water channels are designed for paved-road performance, including wet-road drainage and stable cornering. However, width alone does not establish compatibility with a vehicle.
Mirage publishes this size as 109V XL. Before installation, buyers should confirm that the tyre's load index, speed symbol and XL designation meet the vehicle manufacturer's requirements. Wheel width, overall diameter, brake and suspension clearance must also be suitable. Correct cold inflation pressure should always follow the vehicle manufacturer's specification. Regular wheel alignment, pressure checks and tyre rotation where applicable are important for maintaining even tread wear and predictable handling throughout the tyre's service life.
MR HP-172 Technology
Asymmetric tread pattern. The MR-HP-172 uses different tread zones across the tyre rather than a symmetrical layout, allowing the inner and outer sections to perform different road-handling functions.
Wide circumferential grooves. Longitudinal channels running around the tread provide direct pathways for moving water away from the contact area, supporting wet-road drainage and reducing water build-up beneath the tyre.
Outer straight rib and shoulder design. Mirage uses a more stable outer tread area designed to support cornering grip and directional control during paved-road driving.
Silica-enriched tread compound. The MR-HP-172 uses a silica-enriched rubber compound developed to support traction on both wet and dry road surfaces while contributing to reduced rolling resistance.
Road-focused performance construction. Mirage positions the MR-HP-172 for crossover and luxury SUV applications where steering stability, paved-road grip and controlled road behaviour are key requirements.
XL construction in these sizes. The 255/55 R18, 255/55 R19, 255/50 R20, 275/40 R20 and 275/45 R20 versions covered here are published as XL specifications, although their individual load indexes and speed ratings differ.
Radial construction. All of these MR-HP-172 sizes use radial construction, represented by the R designation in the tyre size.

Understanding Tyre Size 255/50 R20 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 255/50 R20 Tyre Size
What does 255/50 R20 mean?
255/50 R20 is the tyre size.
255 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 255 milimetres(mm).
50 is the ratio among width and height of the tyre from its rim. it means that the height of the tyre is precisely 50% of the 255mm. Lower ratio improves road grip, but it reduces comfort to some extent.
R – refers to the method the tyre is produced. The letter “R” is found on all modern car tyres. It indicates the radial structure of tyre cosntructed with steel wires.
20 represents the diameter of the rim. It is a measurement in inches(“). This number should be rememberd as it is the measurement of the rims. It has to match exactly to what is mentioned in the car manual.
