[ "WHAT ARE LOW PROFILE TYRES?To understand what low profile tyres are, we need to know what the tyre profile of a car means. In simple words, the tyre profile is the distance between the edge of a tyre and the very end of the rim inside the wheel. The tyre profile of a car determines other parameters in the process of production so that the wheel height is preserved as specified by the manufacturer. In other words, if one parameter is altered, all the other parameters must also be kept in check and altered to adhere to regulations.Coming to low-profile tyres, it can now be very easily deduced that they have a small wheel model height, meaning the distance from the surface to rim edge is minimal. It is important to keep in mind that it is not an absolute metric but is relative to the sectional width of the wheel. Low-profile tyres are prevalent in mid to high-end automotive. Many users tweak the tyres in their cars to broaden the diameter of the wheel to have a low-profile tyre. This tunes their car to adopt a sports-car-like aesthetic. The sports car with low-profile tyres boasts high performances.The most in-demand low-profile choices across the globe even for mid-range cars is the 205/55 R16. Many trusted brands like Goodyear Tyres and Michelin Tyres have turned low-profile tyres into a rage.AdvantagesThere are many advantages to low-profile car tyres, one of which was made apparent previously it simply makes the car look premium. When it comes to actual benefits, due to the lessened side width, low-profile tyres have more toughness and are inherently hardy. This means better driving performance on curving tracks.Low-profile tyres also have higher tyre width coupled with broader rims when compared to other tyres. This makes the vehicle less susceptible to slips and accidental drifts while braking. It also results in better control and manoeuvrability on dry roads, especially while cornering through a particularly sharp turn.The overall height of the car is reduced due to a low-profile tyre which means that side tilts are not that much pronounced to the driver. In addition to this, the driver is also in better control of the car as the behaviour of the car is predictable, with the driver having the maximum command.DisadvantagesThe most important thing to keep in mind with low-profile tyres is that the pressure must be kept in check and it must be ensured that it is not too low. This is because they might become prone to damages if the pressure is low resulting in direct friction between the exposed rim and the surface.A low-profile means that some of the components of the outer chassis of the car are vulnerable to its surroundings. For example, the driver has to be mindful while taking a turn as the front guard might come in contact with the kerb, resulting in scratches or possibly even more damages.The suspension and the chassis must also be designed keeping in mind the large width of the tyres. Uneven design in the car suspension components might result in damages, facilitated by low-profile tyres." ]
