The main disadvantage of low-profile tires is that they are not suitable for every ride or rider. Cars designed with low profile tires typically feature a shock system that compensates. Low-profile vehicles have a greater impact on your comfort, so consider leaving them off your minivan.
The narrower tire also gives less protection against wheel damage. There is less tire cushion between your wheel and the road. That makes sense.
However, tire thickness cannot be blamed alone; the driver also plays a role. Sure, the low profile makes your tire more vulnerable to negative impacts, but the danger resides in poor driving; every pothole you hit, for example, has a greater potential to harm your wheel.
