Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Automotive Center of Slidell
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.

Every interaction I've had here has been fantastic - from the owner, to the service technicians who've worked on my vehicles, to the friendly staff at the front desk (shout out to Andy for his fabulous customer service ALWAYS!) . Their rates are very reasonable, and they've always done exactly what they said they would. They stand by their work, and I've never had a single issue with anything they've repaired or serviced from major work completed with a rear differential replacement all the way to just stopping in to have one of my 37 tires plugged from snagging a nail on the road. Heck, even if I just have a mechanical question Andy has always been there willing to chat. What really sets them apart is their honesty. They don't sugarcoat or try to upsell unnecessary work - they're straight with you, and that means a lot. On top of that, they're friendly, genuine, and just good people. Honestly, these have been the best experiences I've ever had at any automotive service establishment in my adult life. I can't recommend them highly enough.
