Low Profile Tyres

In comparison to average car tyres, low profile tyres have a lower aspect ratio to help them cope with the demands of higher performance vehicles.

The key performance advantages over normal profile tyres are:

• Improved handling and grip because there is more tyre surface in contact with the road with more traction and braking power

The key disadvantages are:

• Road noise is greater
• The ride is harder
• More susceptible to aquaplaning due to greater tyre surface in contact with the road
