The Mirage MR-HP-172 275/40 R20 is a wide, low-profile 20-inch tyre in the MR-HP172 range. Mirage positions this pattern for crossover and luxury SUV road applications, and its published size data identifies this exact version as 275/40 R20 106W XL. The tyre combines a substantial 275 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio, radial construction and a 20-inch rim diameter.
The MR-HP-172 uses an asymmetric tread pattern designed to divide wet and dry road functions across the tyre. Wide circumferential grooves help move water away from the contact area, while the outer rib and shoulder zone supports cornering grip and stability. Mirage also uses a silica-enriched tread compound intended to maintain traction on wet and dry surfaces while reducing rolling resistance.
Wide 275 mm Footprint with a 40 Profile
At a 40 aspect ratio, the 275/40 R20 has a nominal sidewall height of approximately 110 mm. Among the MR-HP-172 sizes in this group, this is the lowest-profile configuration. The combination of a 275 mm section width and comparatively short sidewall produces a very different tyre package from taller 20-inch SUV sizes, even where the rim diameter is identical.
For Pakistani vehicles approved for 275/40 R20, the tyre's wide footprint and road-focused tread design make correct wheel and suspension fitment particularly important. The tyre should never be treated as interchangeable with a 275/45 R20 simply because both use a 275 mm width and 20-inch wheel. Overall diameter, sidewall height and vehicle clearances differ between the two specifications.
Mirage lists the 275/40 R20 MR-HP172 as 106W XL. The physical tyre should be checked before installation to confirm its load index, speed rating and XL marking. Wheel width, suspension clearance and vehicle load requirements must also be satisfied. Cold inflation pressure should follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation. Because this is a relatively low-profile tyre, regular pressure and wheel-alignment checks are especially important, particularly after impacts with potholes or damaged road surfaces.
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 275/40 R20 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 275/40 R20 Tyre Size
What does 275/40 R20 mean?
275/40 R20 is the tyre size.
275 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 275 milimetres(mm).
40 is the ratio among width and height of the tyre from its rim. it means that the height of the tyre is precisely 40% of the 275mm. 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.
