New low profile, wide rim tire concept is presented showing that rim widths are 75 to 80% of tire section width, whereas conventional tire rim widths are 65 to 70% of section width; aspect ratio significantly affects tire and vehicle performance; lowering tire's aspect ratio will improve tire performance in following areas -- high speed, tread wear, traction, stability and handling, and rolling resistance; wide base tire also simplifies and standardizes tire and rim usage, making obsolete variety of tire sizes, types, and rim styles previously available.
