If a Tire Goes Flat
Your Corvette has neither a spare tire nor tire changing
equipment, because it was built with Goodyear
Extended Mobility Tires (EMT). See "Extended
Mobility Tires" in the Index.

CAUTION:
Because your vehicle has no spare tire, no tire
changing equipment, and no provisions to store a
tire in the vehicle, special tools and procedures
are required if a tire needs to be serviced. I f these
tools and procedures aren't used, you or others
could be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged. Always be sure the proper tools and
procedures, as described in the Corvette Service
Manual, are used.
To order a service manual, see "Service and Owner
Publications" in the Index.
If You're Stuck: In Sand, Mud,
Ice or Snow
What you don't want to do when your vehicle is stuck is
to spin your wheels too fast. The method known as
"rocking" can help you get out when you're stuck, but
you must use caution.
A
QUTION:
If you let your tires spin at high speed, they can
explode, and you or others could be injured. And,
the transmission or other parts of the vehicle can
overheat. That could cause an engine
compartment fire or other damage. When you're
stuck, spin the wheels as little as possible. Don't
spin the wheels above
35
mph (55 km/h) as shown
on the speedometer.
