Just don't let anyone con you into thinking that ultra low profile tyres offer better grip or handling per se, if they did all the open wheel formula racers would be using them. The only time you will find low profile tyres on a racer is when ultra big brakes are required and that the tyres also have to fit under proscribed bodies leaving little room for tall(ish) sidewalls.

Tall sidewalls are also more tolerant to camber changes that is the bane of most street cars
