Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Mountain Peak Auto Repair
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
I came to meineke today and had exceptional service. Trenton was very helpful and serviced my car with care. I thought it was something bad like my transmission but it was not. We got the air filter changed at a good price. Also he topped off my fluids and chatted with us. Thank you very much !

Great service

Very professional and friendly staff. I initially reached out for a quote on an alternator swap. When I said I was gonna call a few shops and shop around, Trenton reached back out to me to try to match or beat other quotes I received. He was able to give me what I thought was a fair price for labor and parts. All in all, good experience, comfortable waiting room, and quick and thorough service!!!
