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 professional, polite and knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly. I appreciate his care and patience with me as a new customer. I trust that he has the expertise to diagnose items others miss, while not upselling you for repairs or parts that you do not need. I appreciate his ability to use his experience in solving intermittent, or tricky issues. I would not hesitate to bring my cars to his location again or to recommend friends and family to his shop. Everything was straightforward and handled with courtesy. I look forward to working with Moncur's in the future.

Moncur's was great! A/C went out on my car so I decided to take it to AAA to get diagnosed. They told me since the leak was so small that in order to find it, they wanted to charge me $450 to re-charge my A/C system up with refrigerant & dye, and then come back when the system was empty again so they could find the leak and diagnose what needed to be repaired/replaced. Then they were going to charge me that same price for refrigerant, AGAIN, on top the cost to fix the leak. Seriously? Moncur's found the leak by pressurizing the system overnight with dye and replaced the leaking condenser quickly. Had my car back to me working again within 2 business days and a 2 year parts,service, and labor warrenty. Excellent customer service also. Take you vehicle here to this trusted family business and not AAA. Thank you Moncur's!
Kerry was great! He went above and beyond, all for a reasonable price.
