The tire can operate effectively with no air pressure for up to to 200 miles (320 km) at speeds up 55 mph (90 km/h), a but thetire would then have to be replaced. When tire is filled with air,it provides a cushion between the road and the wheel. Because you won't have cushion when this driving on a deflated tire, try to avoid potholes that could damage your wheel andrequire 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.
