📐 What Is a Low-Profile Tyre?

A low-profile tyre has an aspect ratio of 40% or less. The aspect ratio is the sidewall height as a percentage of tyre width.

💡 Example: 245/35R19 245 = width (mm) | 35 = aspect ratio (LOW PROFILE) | R = radial | 19 = rim size (inches)

⚖️ Pros & Cons

✓ Advantages

  • Sharper, more precise handling
  • Better cornering grip
  • Shorter dry braking (3-10m)
  • Improved road feedback
  • Sporty aesthetics
  • Better brake clearance

✗ Disadvantages

  • Harsher ride quality
  • Faster wear (30-50K km)
  • Pothole damage risk
  • Increased road noise (+4-8dB)
  • Higher cost
  • Poor on rough roads

⏱️ Wear & NZ Road Suitability

Do they wear faster? Yes — expect 30,000-50,000km vs 60,000-80,000km for standard tyres. Softer rubber compounds provide better grip but wear more quickly.

NZ Roads: Low-profiles excel on motorways and well-maintained urban streets. Be cautious on pothole-heavy areas (older Auckland/Wellington suburbs) and rural roads where rim damage risk increases.

⚠️ TPMS Critical Low-profile tyres hold less air — small pressure drops affect handling more. Never ignore your TPMS warning light.

Yes, if they meet standard requirements: 1.5mm tread depth, no sidewall damage, correct load/speed ratings, and functional TPMS if fitted.
Yes, typically 4-8 dB louder. Wider tread creates more air turbulence and stiffer sidewalls transmit more road noise.
