Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Jr. Auto Repair
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
Clean shop, excellent service for good price!
I got stuck in Orlando with a burnt up compressor, which fried the belt. Called Junior and he did his best to get me on the road same day. It didn’t work out and I had to spend the night. He drove me to the hotel and picked me up next day when car was fixed. Went above and beyond a normal mechanic. Took me under car and showed me exactly what was going on and needed to be fixed. No hidden cost and last minute charges. Every thing was upfront and reasonable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Great customer service the owner cares about his customers! Very recommended if you’re looking for a mechanic.
Excellent work and very honest people.
