Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Automotive Center of Slidell
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.

Great service and knowledgeable staff. Very comfortable in trusting them with vehicle mods and services.
My best summary is that the only thing I get done anywhere else is oil changes. I trust their work and especially their honesty. They also have a comfy waiting room and they will drop you off anywhere in Slidell for a long wait.
On December 26, 2025 I was headed home to Alabama from New Orleans. I had some car trouble in Slidell and called Automotive Center of Slidell. They helped me setup a tow to their shop and addressed my problem immediately. Within an hour I was back on the road to home. It was quick and affordable. I would recommend Automotive Center of Slidell to anyone in the area or just travelling through. As a shop owner myself, I strive to provide the type of service I received at the Automotive Center of Slidell!
