Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Marcos Tires & 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
Went it to get my emissions, they were fast, the fee was really affordable, and the service was great!! Now my go-to shop for all car problems
Classic Car Repair, near Provo, UT
I worked at a car rental company so I dealt with plenty of body shops. Marcos is incredibly honest and they were great communicators. My car had some complications and they still were able to get my car fixed in a day. I will be going to them over any other shop in provo, even the main ones, for a couple reasons: 1. Since they are smaller, you will get much faster service. 2. Best pricing I have seen. Thanks to Josue for making sure I was taken care of

Really very good and responsible workers
Car & Truck Care, near Provo, UT
Sure thankful for these gentlemen today! I live in SLC & had to come down to Provo for work. On my way down south my tire sensor light went off - no big, was due for a rotation and alignment anyway. Looked up highly rated spots near my office and they came up first thing. Come to find out after dropping the car off thet I need two tires replaced due to wearing on the outside treads. I really appreciate how the owner's son took me back to the garage and pointed out the flaws in my tire compared to a newer one. He actually explained what he meant versus just yapping at me, which is unfortunately common as a single woman with zero mechanical experience. On top of teaching me something, they also didnt charge me for the rotation since I'll be out of pocket for a new set of tires (thanks all-wheel drive!) If I lived closer these guys would be my regular mechanic. Thanks for your kindness and integrity today, gentlemen. It doesnt go unnoticed.
