Goodyear Assurance MaxLife 2 - 215/55R17 94V Tire

We had to purchase this replacement passenger side tire for an unanticipated damage situation, as described below, but along with that replacement, Mr. Matthew, the Sam’s Club technician recommended we also include a TPMS Kit small purchase price to assure proper functionality of the tire wheel air valve stem. Tire Damage Situation: While driving about 1.5 miles at night from our house in our vehicle, we heard very significant vehicle vibrations from the passenger side. So, we then stopped and noticed the rear-passenger side tire was flat. Thankfully, we were able to re-inflate it with a special tool stored in the vehicle, and we were able to drive back to the house, but at that time we did not know why the tire became flat. The next day we realized the tire had been flattened by a large nail into the tread surface and the tire wall surfaces were subsequently and permanently damaged due to its flat rolling condition. After all work service completion by Mr. Matthew, while driving we also noticed the vehicle’s “excessive low tire-pressure” dash-board indicator light was now shut-off. This indicator light had been staying on for the past two years, and our regular auto repair technician had previously suggested we frequently check tire pressures or pay a very large price estimate to figure out and fix which of our 4-vehicle tire valve stems was the cause for it to have remained on so long.
