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
Wish there was a shop like this in Tucson. My CRV broke down at Gold Ranch Resort just as I pulled in. Power steering that had been installed in Flagstaff last December quit. When I called Moncur's Automotive they readily told me to have it towed in and they would diagnose the problem and fix it. That's just what they did the same day. Excellent communication all the way. Very Professional. Just what everyone wants in a care care professional. Thank you again.
