How Do Low-Profile Tires Affect the Ride Comfort of the Toyota Camry on Pakistan’s Roads?

The Toyota Camry typically comes with low-profile tires that offer better handling and aesthetics. However, these tires can be less forgiving on Pakistan’s poorly maintained roads. How do low-profile tires impact the ride comfort of the Camry, especially on roads that are full of potholes, speed bumps, and rough patches? Do owners face issues like tire blowouts o r frequent tire replacements due to the reduced sidewall height, and how can this be addressed while maintaining the vehicle’s handling characteristics?

Low-profile tires, while offering improved handling and aesthetics, are less forgiving on rough roads like those commonly found in Pakistan. The shorter sidewalls of these tires don’t absorb bumps as effectively as higher-profile tires, leading to a harsher ride, especially on pothole-ridden roads. Low-profile tires are also more prone to damage from hitting potholes o r curbs. Owners may experience more frequent tire replacements o r even blowouts due to the reduced sidewall height. To address this while maintaining good handling, owners might consider using tires with a slightly higher profile for improved ride comfort without sacrificing too much handling performance.
