If A Tyre Goes Flat - Chevrolet 2015 Corvette Owner's Manual

Install them on the rear tyres only,
as tightly as possible, with the ends
securely fastened.
Caution
Do not install traction devices on
the front tyres.
Drive slowly and follow the cable
manufacturer's instructions. If the
cables contact the vehicle, stop and
retighten them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it stops.
Caution
To help avoid damage to the
vehicle, drive slowly, do not spin
the wheels, and readjust or
remove the device if it contacts
the vehicle.

If a Tyre Goes Flat

It is unusual for a tyre to blow out
while driving, especially if the tyres
are maintained properly. If air goes
out of a tyre, it is much more likely
to leak out slowly. See Tyres on
page 10-45 for additional
information. But if there ever is a
blowout, here are a few tips about
what to expect and what to do:
If a front tyre fails, the flat tyre
creates a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot off
the accelerator pedal and grip the
steering wheel firmly. Steer to
maintain lane position, and then
gently brake to a stop, well off the
road, if possible.
A rear blowout, particularly on a
curve, acts much like a skid and
may require the same correction as
used in a skid. Stop pressing the
accelerator pedal and steer to
straighten the vehicle. It may be
very bumpy and noisy. Gently brake
to a stop, well off the road,
if possible.
Vehicle Care
The vehicle has no spare tyre, no
tyre changing equipment and no
place to store a tyre.
If the vehicle has run-flat tyres,
there is no need to stop on the side
of the road to change a flat tyre.
See Run-Flat Tyres on page 10-46.
Warning
Special tools and procedures are
required to service a run-flat tyre.
If these special tools and
procedures are not used, injury or
vehicle damage may occur.
Always be sure the proper tools
and procedures, as described in
the service manual, are used.
If this vehicle does not have run-flat
tyres and a tyre goes flat, avoid
further tyre and wheel damage by
driving slowly to a level place, well
off the road, if possible. Turn on the
hazard warning flashers. See
Hazard Warning Flashers on
page 6-5.
