Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Automotive Center of Mandeville

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.

ABOVE 5 STARS! Integrity, knowledge, skilled and honesty are words I would use to describe Automotive center of Mandeville. I was deceived by another mechanic prior and was feeling defeated. Jason promptly diagnosed my vehicle with discretion and honesty. As a single female who doesn’t know much about cars, this meant the world to me. Every repair was done with excellence, and I can’t thank them enough. My car is running smooth!!!

Extremely professional, very easy to talk with in layman’s term instead of Mechanic language that the normal person doesn’t understand. Very nice and personable. Trustworthy! Sent me messages and phone calls to discuss possible options and did NOT try to sell me unnecessary services. In fact, Jason advised me what the options were and completed the work within just a few hours! I definitely recommend Jason and his team for your Auto repair needs. He is the only mechanic shop I will be going to.
