Chevrolet 2011 Corvette Coupe Owner's Manual page 371

A rear blowout, particularly on a
curve, acts much like a skid and
may require the same correction
you would use in a skid. In any rear
blowout remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle
under control by steering the way
you want the vehicle to go. It may
be very bumpy and noisy, but you
can still steer. Gently brake to a
stop, well off the road, if possible.
The vehicle has no spare tire, no
tire changing equipment, and no
place to store a tire.
The vehicle, when new, had run-flat
tires. This type of tire can operate
effectively with no air pressure, so
you will not need to stop on the
side of the road to change a flat tire.
You can just keep on driving. The
shorter the distance you drive and
the slower the speed, the greater
the chance that the run-flat tire will
not have to be replaced. Run-flat
tires perform so well without any air
that a Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) is used to alert you if a tire
has lost pressure. See
and

Vehicle Care
WARNING
Special tools and procedures
are required to service a run-flat
tire. If these special tools and
procedures are not used you or
others could be injured and the
vehicle could be damaged.
Always be sure the proper tools
and procedures, as described in
the service manual, are used.
