Extended Mobility Tires(omoiv) If your Corvette has optional Goodyear Extended Mobility Tires (EMT's), the tires will have "EMT" molded on the sidewalls. These tires performso well without any air that a Low Tire Pressure Warning System (LTPWS) is used to alert you if a tire has lost pressure.A "LOWELAT TIRE" light will appear on your Driver Information Center if tire's a inflation pressure is less than25 psi (170 kPa). If the "LOWELAT TIRE" light comes on, check your pressures tire as soon as you can. See "Low Tire Pressure Warning System" in Index the for additional information. If a tire goes flat, you won't need to stop on the side of the road to change the tire. You can just keep on driving. Theshorter the distance you drive and theslower the speed, the greater the chance that tire the will not have to be replaced. If you drive on a deflated EMT for distances of 50 miles (80 km) or less and at speedsof 55 mph (90 km/h) or less, there is a good chance that the tire can be repaired. The tire can operate effectively with no air pressure for up to 200 miles (320 km) at speeds up to 55 mph (90 km/h), but the tire would then have to be replaced. Also remember: When a tire is filled with air, it provides a cushion between the road and the wheel. Becauseyou do not have this cushion when driving on a deflated tire, try to avoid potholes that coulddamage your wheel andrequire replacement of it. Some road hazards candamage a tire beyond repair. This damage could occur before you've driven on the tire in a deflated condition. Whenever a tire has been damaged, or if you've driven any distance on a deflated EMT, check with a Goodyear EMT ServiceCenter to determine whether thetire can be repaired or should be replaced. To maintain your vehicle's extended mobility feature, all replacement tires must be Extended Mobility Tires. See the Goodyear ExtendedMobility Tire Owner's Manual andLimited Warranty supplied with your Corvette for additional information. 205. .
