Low Profile Tires

Low profile tires are the ones with the shorter aspect ratio or sidewall. Low profile tires are used often in racings. The tires provide exceptional handling and positive feedback to the steering wheel. Low profile tires have very less distance between wheel and road surface as a result the ride is very rough. The imperfections of roads (pot holes, bumps, etc.) are sent directly to the suspension of the car unless the suspension has been designed to handle the stiffer sidewalls.

The technology is evolving and the new low profile tires are better than that of yester years and have better tread life than previous ones, however, they still have shorter life span than others. Low profile tires are also preferred because it magnifies the look of the car. Low profile tires are found on wheels with larger diameter.
