Inflation - Tire Pressure - Chevrolet 2007 Corvette Owner's Manual

The valve stems on your extended mobility
tires have sensors that are part of the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM). See Tire Pressure
Monitor System on page 389. The TPM sensors
contain batteries which are designed to last
for 10 years under normal driving conditions.
See your dealer if you ever need to have a
wheel replaced, or if the sensors ever need
replacement.
Notice: Using liquid sealants can damage
the tire valves and tire pressure monitor
sensors in your extended mobility tires.
This damage would not be covered by
warranty. Don't use liquid sealants in
your extended mobility tires.

Inflation - Tire Pressure
Tires need the correct amount of air pressure
to operate effectively.
Notice: Do not let anyone tell you that
under-inflation or over-inflation is all right.
It is not. If your tires do not have enough air
(under-inflation), you can get the following:
•
Too much flexing
•
Too much heat
•
Tire overloading
•
Premature or irregular wear
•
Poor handling
•
Reduced fuel economy
If your tires have too much air (over-inflation),
you can get the following:
•
Unusual wear
•
Poor handling
•
Rough ride
•
Needless damage from road hazards
A Tire and Loading Information label is attached to
the vehicle's b-pillar. This label lists your vehicle's
original equipment tires and shows the correct
inflation pressures for your tires when they are cold.
