Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Gardner Automotive & Body Shop
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.

I had an issue with my RV that kept blowing fuses and causing motor to shut down and not restart. Contacted three other places before being referred to Gardner Automotive. Daniel and Mark drove out almost 40 miles and quickly diagnosed the problem of frayed wires on the coil harness. They took my vehicle back to their shop and in a matter of just a few hours they repaired and returned it running smoothly. I am completely satisfied with their service and would highly recommend them.
