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.

Highly recommend Moncur's Automotive!! A different place told my husband that our car needed the CV axels replaced and that it was a "hazard to drive." An expensive repair! He took our car to Moncur's Automotive to have it looked at. Kerry helped him out and told him that that there was absolutely nothing wrong with our car, and then would not accept any payment for a diagnostic fee. We're thrilled to have found an honest, reliable mechanic in the East Valley. If you need auto repair in Mesa, definitely give Moncur's Automotive a call!
