Low-profile tires any good?

[XDude]

Are low-profile tires any good for year-round every day driving?

Today in the tireshop the lady told me they suck out here (we have thE MOST HORRIBLE roads you will EVER hear or see.. Literally a pot-hole every couple of feet throughout the entire town) and she told me they just fall apart and can't hold up like a normal tire, is this true of all low-profile tires? I just love the way they look .

I see a bunch of BMW's come with them standard, they can't be that bad if they are putting them on BMW's, right?



I'm not an expert but just in case I'm saying something that doesn't seem right, I was told a "low-profile" tire are those skinny tires.
