Is This a Low Profile Tyre for 18" Rim?

So, I was looking at Mitsubishi ASX, and it comes with 18" alloys, and has this tyre specs

Tyre Size 225/55R18 98H

Is it considered low profile?

    No, generally 50 aspect or lower.

    It depends what your metric for low is

    • Something which can manage potholes on the road easily….

        Then get something with 16" rims and 65+ profile.

          And a 3" lift

        • cannot get any new SUV in that alloy range, toyota rav4 is the only one I can think of with 19" and 65 profile , but looong waiting time

        manage potholes on the road

        Or drive on roads without potholes if you can't steer around them.

    Only take a quick glance to see they're not very low profile

    Despite it being a bit low on profile, it’s on a budget SUV that isn’t design for race tracks. Therefore the profile is high enough for Mitsubishi to be able to sell to people that drive regular potholed roads and not end up in a class action for it not being designed for purpose.
