Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Diesel Repair Solutions

Intro image

What Are Low Profile Tires?

Low-profile tires are a type of tire with a shorter sidewall height relative to the tire's width. They are often characterized by a wide tread and a reduced aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire's sidewall height to its section width. Typically, low-profile tires have an aspect ratio of 50% or lower, with some extreme low-profile tires having an aspect ratio of 40% or less.

The aspect ratio in the context of tire measurements is a percentage that represents the ratio of the tire's sidewall height to its section width. For example, in a tire with a size designation of P225/50R17, the aspect ratio of 50 means that the height of the sidewall is 50% of the tire's width.

These tires are popular for their sporty and stylish appearance, as well as their improved handling and responsiveness on the road. They are commonly used in performance vehicles and sports cars, as they offer better grip and traction during high-speed maneuvers and cornering. The reduced sidewall height can lead to a firmer and more responsive ride, enhancing the vehicle's overall performance capabilities.

This shop was a God send! I have a Ford diesel Transit van which broke down. I called around and Alex immediately responded and was beyond helpful! Alex's shop was able to turn what could have been a very expensive fix into a creative solution which saved me so much time and money. I do not live near Oxnard but would definitely drive out of my way to use his services again. Extremely trustworthy, helpful and responsive! Thank you Alex! Mary
