Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Global Auto Service
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
My experience getting snow tires was great today- he was able to do it very quickly and for a good price. Nice guy
Called and was able to swing a same day appointment and service for my brakes on my toyota. Quick to diagnose, transparent on pricing, and easy to work with. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a mechanic in town.
Great customer service , reasonable pricing and attention to detail …. Old school customer service ! My go to place now for any auto maintenance!
I know these guys and I was so excited when they opened their own shop! It's family run owned and operated. They have tons of experience and finally left the larger dealerships to start their own business with integrity and honesty. I brought my old Ranger in for a power steering issue and steering rack I had installed from a prior mechanic. They handled negotiations with the parts dealer to get me a new steering rack, remanufactured. However, that rack failed after a month! Todd(the owner) immediately got me in and handled the replacement warranty and covered the labor costs, only asked for help paying for the alignment. Super fair, really fast service and I can't recommend them enough.
