Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Hardy Vehicle Designs
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
Rex walked around my car, squinted once, kicked a tire for dramatic effect, and gave me an estimate before I even finished explaining what happened. Pretty sure he has X-ray vision. If your car is bent, dented, scratched, or looks like you let a raccoon borrow it, ask for Rex.

I came in for my first time last week and had an experience that exceeded my expectations. From starting out receiving a smile and a cold bottle of water, so a deep review of the challenges I was experiencing with my classic car. The team carved out a substantial amount of time for me on a Saturday and their entire crew rallied around my situation to not only give me immediate advice on the mechanical issues I was experiencing, but provided some long-term strategy on my car. Ultimately, their advice is going to serve me in the years to come. I had an amazing experience that I won't forget. I look forward to staying in touch and sharing updates with them on my car. Thanks Tyler and team!

I had my BMW serviced at Hardy Vehicle Design today for a motor mount replacement, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Colby and Tyler were friendly, professional, and had my car fixed quickly at a great price. BMW would have charged me significantly more, but Tyler worked with me and gave me a much better deal. They earned my trust, and Hardy Vehicle Design is now my go-to shop for major vehicle repairs. Highly recommend!
