Purchasing Low Profile Tires at D & D Automotive and Diesel
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
Sprinter problems! This is the place to go. Why wait two months for the MB dealer when D&D will get ya sorted in days. Called em min cross country trip from Florida ton Idaho on a Tuesday and the had me sorted before brunch Wednesday. Dealer stated they could take a look in 6 weeks - a common issue dealerships. But not double D! They open super early, have professional technicians, are super friendly and a fraction of the cost of the dealership. Thanks D&D for keepin the wheels turning!

I highly recommend this small but mighty automotive shop. We have taken all of our family vehicles to D & D for several years now. They go way above and beyond. I had a question on my daughters 2014 Ford Focus transmission and Cody called several places to research my options for me, to see if it was worth fixing or not. Also, they never push other services that are not necessary. They truly are honest group of guys. Thanks again Cody!
