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.

I took my Chevy Silverado in for a repair. And Cindy and Todd were extremely helpful with my issue. And Todd is very knowledgeable on vehicles. And they addressed all my issues in a timely manner. Thanks Todd for a wonderful experience.

After many sour experiences—and even betrayal—from other auto shops, I feel compelled to share my heartwarming experience with the amazing, kind, and truly caring team at Ken’s Auto.
From the moment I met Todd and Cindi, who run the shop with such grace and warmth, I felt something I had never felt in an auto shop before: ease. Every time I walk through their door, I feel relaxed, knowing I am in good and loving hands. They consistently go above and beyond to make sure I feel seen, valued, and treated with genuine care—a rare gift in this industry.
And then there is Mike—the mechanic with a golden heart and golden hands. I have never felt so safe and confident on the road until he began servicing my car. His skill, attention to detail, and integrity have transformed the way I drive. For the first time in years, I feel protected behind the wheel.
Everyone at Ken’s Auto operates with warmth, honesty, and integrity—the qualities every human needs and deserves but so rarely receives. After years of running into shops that took advantage of my vulnerability, I can finally say I have found a place of milk and honey—a shop led not just by people with heart, but people who lead with their heart.
Every time I step into Ken’s Auto, I know their priority is simple and sincere: to make sure my car is in the best condition so that I am safe on the road. And thanks to them, I drive with trust, comfort, and peace.
I urge anyone seeking true care, respect, and honesty for their vehicle to give this incredible team a chance. With full confidence, I guarantee—you will not be disappointed.
Lastly, I want to say that their prices are better than any other shop I’ve been to, which only adds to the peace of mind they give me.
