Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Moncur's Automotive
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.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Kerry was great! He went above and beyond, all for a reasonable price.
Big O told me I needed $2900 in service. Kerry inspected my fan and told me none of those services were needed at all. Thank goodness.
I go to Kerry for everything. Always an honest opinion and will never recommend something my vehicle doesn't need! I have taken 5 vehicles to him over the last 10 years.
This is by far the best experience that I have ever had with a mechanic. Kerry is very approachable and will explain things on a level that you can understand. His prices are fair and affordable. best experience ever.
