Low Profile Tyre
A low profile tyre has a short sidewall relative to its width, typically with an aspect ratio of 50 or below. They provide sharper steering response, better cornering stability, and a sportier appearance. However, the reduced sidewall height offers less cushioning, making the ride firmer and the tyre more susceptible to damage from potholes and kerbs.
