If a tire goes flat, you won't need to stop on the side
of the road to change the tire. You can just keep on
driving. The shorter the distance you drive and the
slower the speed, the greater the chance that the
tire will not have to be replaced. If you drive on a
deflated EMT for 25 miles (40 km) or less and at
speeds of 55 mph (90 km/h) or less, there is a
good chance that the tire can be repaired. The
tire can operate effectively with no air pressure
for up to 100 miles (160 km) at speeds up to
55 mph (90 km/h), but the tire would then have to
be replaced. When a tire is filled with air, it provides
a cushion between the road and the wheel.
Because you won't have this cushion when driving
on a deflated tire, try to avoid potholes that could
damage your wheel and require replacement of it.
Some road hazards can damage a tire beyond
repair. This damage could occur even before
you've driven on the tire in a deflated condition.
When a tire has been damaged, or if you've driven
any distance on a deflated EMT, check with an
authorized Goodyear EMT Service Center to
determine whether the tire can be repaired or
should be replaced. To maintain your vehicle's
extended mobility feature, all replacement
tires must be Extended Mobility Tires.
As soon as possible, contact the nearest
authorized GM or Goodyear EMT servicing facility
for inspection and repair or replacement. To locate
the nearest GM or Goodyear EMT servicing facility,
call Roadside Assistance. For phone numbers
and Roadside Assistance details see Roadside
Assistance Program on page 458. You may also
contact Goodyear, for the nearest authorized EMT
servicing facility, by calling 1-800-789-9878.
CAUTION:
{
Extended mobility tires are constructed
differently than other tires and could
explode during improper service. You or
others could be injured or killed if you
attempt to repair, replace, dismount, or
mount a extended mobility tire. Let only
an authorized EMT Service Center repair,
replace, dismount and mount extended
mobility tires.
