I wonder if anyone knows or can suggest the car with the lowest profile tyres fitted as standard.

I seem to remember that the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 Z-Tune had some pretty thin rubber.

A quick Google suggests the tyres for the Z-tune were 265/35

So 265 * 0.35 = A profile of 92.75mm

Anyone got anything that beats that?

Pretty sure the X5 has 30-profile tyres on the big rims.

something like a weismann,

20 wheels, 11.5in wide at the rear, wearing 325/25 ZR20 rubber, ride is supposed to be quite good though.
