Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Trans-O-Mex
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.

Since I brought my car here to be fixed for the first time ever about two years ago I NEVER went anywhere else unless it was something they didn't fix. I love the customer service the lady is so nice everyday never switched up. My personal mechanic who fixes my car do my paperwork type stuff is Roger and he's great. I e spoken with two other mechanics before when he's out and they just make you feel so welcome and that they appreciate your services more then you appreciate them and that's loves and great customer service.
