If a Tire Goes Flat

Your Corvette has no spare tire, no tire changing
equipment, and no place to store a tire.
It is unusual for a tire to blow out while you are
driving, especially if you maintain your tires
properly. See Tires on page 378. If air goes out
of a tire, it is much more likely to leak out slowly.
Your vehicle has Extended Mobility Tires (EMT),
so you will not need to stop on the side of the
road to change a flat tire. EMT tires can operate
effectively with no air pressure. 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.
Contact the nearest authorized Chevrolet or
Goodyear EMT servicing facility, as soon as
possible, to have the flat tire inspected and
repaired or replaced. For more information,
see Extended Mobility Tires on page 384.
