That means that the stock tires are low profile by the generally accepted definition of what it means to be low profile.

WHAT YOU MUST DO TO OBTAIN SERVICE:
1. If you have a tire that has been damaged due to a road hazard as defined above, go to a tire service facility to have your tire
examined. If you are unable to locate a tire service facility, contact the Program Administrator at 866/237-0574 (toll free) for
assistance.
2. If the tire service facility determines that your tire is repairable, the tire service facility does not need to contact the Program
Administrator for approval to repair the tire. Have the tire repaired, and submit the required paperwork to the Program
Administrator to receive reimbursement.
3. If the tire service facility determines that the tire is not repairable, you must contact the Program Administrator at 866/237-0574
(toll free) for prior authorization. The Program Administrator will give you a claim reference number. You must obtain prior
authorization and a claim reference number to replace the unserviceable tire or your claim may be denied.
4. The Program Administrator will verify your claim and participation in the Road Hazard Program, pre-authorize your tire
replacement, provide reimbursement percentage, and will then connect you to a Tire Rack representative so that you can
make arrangements to purchase a replacement tire.
5. You must purchase the replacement tire or pay for the repair. You will be reimbursed for the replacement as determined by the
Program Administrator pursuant to the Tire Replacement Terms below (not to exceed $399.99, plus ground shipping costs if
shipped from Tire Rack) or repair (not to exceed $25.00) of your tire, once all required documentation has been submitted and
approved.
6. You must sign the repair or replacement invoice.
7. You must submit a copy of your original invoice showing the purchase of the Road Hazard Program, and a copy of your signed
repair or replacement invoice to Program Administrator, Tire Rack Road Hazard Service Program, P.O. Box 17480,

tire was replaced.
8. The damaged tire must be made available for inspection if requested by the Program Administrator.

Well the TPS Sensor is on the rim. Not the tire. If your not switching rims shouldn't have to mention the sensor but I would just in case. Much easier to mention it then to wind up spending... what is it 400? After words.
