Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Corey's Automotive Repair & Service
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.

Super friendly staff
Car & Truck Care, near Gas City, IN
Waited almost 3 weeks for another company to not even touch my vehicle. Had a co-worker that referred CARS. Pulled it home and not only did Corey's guys come and tow my vehicle to his shop they had it done 3 days before I needed it. Highly recommend.

These guys answered my call before they were officially open, towed my truck in some of the crappiest weather and road conditions and had me rolling two days later. Fast, professional service at a VERY reasonable price. I did have an issue with something they repaired after I picked up the truck, but it was past their close time, and no one answered the phone. However, Corey did call me back later that evening, but I had fixed the minor issue myself. I feel like my scenario is 1000% the exception of their norm and i would be the .001% of an issue after repair. Also, had i been local (this truck is based in Ft. Wayne, but broke down in Elwood, and had to be on a job the next day) I am 1000% positive that Corey would have made everything perfect, had i given him the chance. I hope to never be broke down again, but if I am, I hope it's around this shop.
