Default Low Profile Tires

I'm still running my stock AP1 wheels and am wondering what are some tires that are of a lower profile on the stock wheel. Also, price is an obstacle so nothing too outlandish.

If you run lower profile tires on a stock wheel, you are going to change the overall diameter of the tires and therefore mess up your speedometer. If you change the profile of the tire, you also need to change the size of the wheel to compensate.

What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

Actually the tire size that comes on the car is considered low profile. If you are talking about even lower profile I would not recommend it unless you change the wheels as well.

I've been doing very well in the snow on Dunlop WinterSport 3D fronts and M3 rears, in the stock AP1 sizes.
