Are my tires low profile?

Maintenance/Repairs

This refers to a problem with my car, based on comments on the “Hit curb 10mph brand new Corolla - mild vibration after” thread. Also, reference to the thread which I posted on exploding three tires in a very few days on my 2009 Mexican Sienna, due to road hazards.

Someone on the Corolla thread commented that low profile tires cause a lot of maintenance problems.

My tires are 235/60R17. Would those be low profile tires?

I have never had tires explode like that before, ,and so I was blaming (besides being my fault, of course, for not missing those road hazards) on the Euzkadi tires.

I have no idea where I would buy new or used rims to use a different tire. But, all this time I have been waiting for the Tire Guy to find replacement tires of this size. He got the Euzkadi okay, but now they simply don’t have them available.

I tell ya’, it is a real hassle to have a car which requires months to find new tires.
