Your Corvette has no spare tire, no tire changing
equipment and no place to store a tire.
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” in the Index. If air goes out of a tire, it’s much

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” in the Index.
