Yourvehicle may also have a spare tire delete option. With the spare tire delete option, there's no spare tire, no tire changing equipment and no place to store a tirein the vehicle. Extended Mobility Tires performso well without any air that a Low Tire Pressure Warning System (LTPWS) used to alert you if is a tire has lost pressure. LOWELAT TIRE light will A appear on your Driver Information Center if a tire's inflation pressure is less than25 psi (170 kPa). If the LOW/FLAT TIRE light comes on, check your tire pressures as soon as you can. See "Low Tire Pressure Warning System" in the Index additional information. for 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. The shorter the distance you drive and the slower the speed, the greater the chance that the tire 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 to 200 miles (320 km) at speeds up up to 55 mph (90 kmk), but the tire would then have to be replaced. Also remember: When a tire is filledwith air, it provides a cushion between the road and the wheel. Because you do not have this cushion when driving on a deflated tire, try to avoid potholes that could damage your wheel and require replacement of it. Some road hazards can damage a tire beyond repair. This damage could occur before you've driven the tire in a on deflated condition. Whenever a tire been damaged, or has if you've driven any distance on a deflated EMT, check with a Goodyear EMT Service Center determine to whether the tire can be repairedor should be replaced. To maintain your vehicle's extended mobility feature, all replacement tires must be Extended Mobility Tires.
