CMH Honda Pinetown Honda Elevate
Have you ever heard someone mention a car having high profile tyres as a selling point and wondered why? Well, it’s time to find out, and today we will be looking at the Honda Elevate at CMH Honda Pinetown as our example.
Understanding High Profile Tyres
What are high profile tyres? High profile tyres are tyres with a broader sidewall, i.e., the distance between the rim and the tyre thread. Generally, the second set of numbers on your tyre will indicate your sidewall size. On our Honda Elevate, the tyre size is 215/55/R17. The second set of numbers “55”, is our sidewall ratio meaning the sidewall height is 55% of the tyre’s width.
Benefits of High Profile Tyres
So what are the benefits? Firstly, you will get a more comfortable drive. Higher profile tyres provide more shock absorption. Higher profile tyres also provide more protection from potholes, and pavements as the higher profile tyres provide more cushioning. Higher profile tyres produce a quieter ride as they absorb more road noise compared to lower profile tyres, and higher profile tyres can carry more weight which allows you to increase carrying capacity.
