If
a
Tire Goes Flat
Your Corvette
has
neither
a
spare
tire
nor
tire
changing
equipment,
because
it was
built
with
Goodyear
Extended
Mobility
Tires
(EMT).
See
“Extended
Mobility
Tires”
in
the
Index.
A
C.*
UTION:
If
You’re Stuck: In Sand,
Mud,
Ice
or
Snow
What
you
don’t
want
to
do
when
your
vehicle is
stuck
is
to
spin
your
wheels too fast.
The
method
known
as
“rocking”
can help you
get
out
when
you’re
stuck,
but
you
must
use
caution.
Because
your
vehicle
has
no
spare tire,
no tire
changing
equipment,
and
no
provisions
to store
a
tire
in
the vehicle,
special
tools and
procedures
are required if a tire needs
to
be
serviced.
If
these
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
GM
Corvette
Service
Manual, are used.
To
order a
service
manual,
see
“Service
and
Owner
Publications”
in
the
Index.
A
CAUTION:
If
you
let
your
tires
spin
at high
speed,
they
can
explode, and you or others
could
be
injured.
And,
the
transmission
or other parts of the
vehicle
can
overheat.
That
could
cause
an
engine
compartment fire or other
damage.
When
you’re
stuck,
spin
the wheels as
little
as
possible.
Don’t
spin
the
wheels
above
35
mph
(55
km/h)
as
shown
on the
speedometer.
