This technical-sounding term refers to the relationship between the width of a tire and the height of the tire's sidewall. High-performance "low profile" tires have low aspect ratios, their sidewalls are short relative to their width. This provides extra stiffness and better high-speed handling and grip but also tends to result in a firmer (and sometimes, harsh) ride. "Taller" tires tend to provide a smoother ride and better traction in snow.

These are narrow bands built into the tread of the tires during manufacturing that begin to show when only 2/32 of the tire's tread remains. Also called wear bars, tread ware indicators are there to provide an obvious visual warning that it's time to shop for new tires.
As your tires rotate, only a portion of the total tread is actually in contact with the ground at any given moment. This is known as the contact patch. Think of it as your tire's footprint. Sport/performance-type tires are characterized by their wider footprint -- more tread is in contact with the ground -- which provides extra grip, especially during hard acceleration on dry pavement and during high-speed cornering.
