Purchasing Low Profile Tires at Buchanan's Service Center
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.

Bucky’s is very fast at oil changes…under 30 minutes. I appreciate the fast service and the fact that they don’t try to upsell on everything. It’s a great neighborhood shop and I’ll keep coming back.

Thank you to Bryan and Alex and the other gentleman whose name i did not get. My sons car had died and one problem turned into another - the car went into some sort of theft mode where the horn was honking etc. anyhow- they came to my house not once but twice and got it all figured out and changed the battery. They were so patient and kind to boot. Thank you for the exceptional service and getting my son’s car back in business!!
