This relates to the depth of the sidewall (the wall at the side of the tyre). The profile is expressed as a percentage of the tyre's width. Eg. Our 205/60R15 tyre has a profile or sidewall that is 60% of the 205mm (width). A low profile tyre is generally 50% or below, down to as little as 30% with ultra low profile tyres. Higher performance vehicles are usually fitted with tyres that have lower profiles.

Not much of a use. Low profile tyres give you greater control and better handling on corners, they can give a slightly harder ride, more fuel consumption, more expensive and wears quickly.
