Supercars and Low-Profile Tires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By lowering the height of a tire and adding to its width, low-profile tires add huge performance boosts to any vehicle. In particular, low-profile tires improve overall handling, cornering, steering response at high speeds, and traction. All-in-all, low-profile tires are the only option for a supercar if you want to use the performance you paid for. With a bigger tire, a lot of the power a supercar produces wouldn\u2019t be transferred to the pavement as well. They\u2019re so good, in fact, that their use has spread from supercars to modern sports cars, muscle cars, luxury vehicles, and even some sporty trims on everyday consumer vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

…What\u2019s the Catch?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are two problems when it comes to low-profile tires. The first, and least applicable, is cost. Low-profile tires can be expensive. But if you\u2019re considering buying a supercar, that\u2019s not really a problem. No, the real issue lies in ride quality. Since low-profile tires cut their height in favor of width, you lose all of the cushion that a normal tire provides. Even with adaptive suspension dampers, riding on rough roads in a performance vehicle with low-profile tires can be incredibly uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
