If a Tire Goes Flat
Your Corvette has no spare tire, no tire changing
equipment and no place to store a tire.
It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving,
especially if you maintain your tires properly. See Tires
on page 5-55. If air goes out of a tire, it’s much more likely
to leak out slowly.
If your vehicle has Extended Mobility Tires (EMT),
you won’t 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 50 miles
(80 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 (Except Z06)
on page 5-61.

service an Extended Mobility Tire (EMT). If these
special tools and procedures aren’t used you or
others could be injured and your vehicle could
be damaged. Always be sure the proper tools
and procedures, as described in the service
manual, are used.
