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

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. 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. When a tire is filled with air, it provides a

cushion between the road and the wheel. Because you

won’t 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 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. As soon as possible, contact the nearest

authorized Chevrolet or Goodyear EMT servicing

facility for inspection and repair or replacement.

Center repair, replace, dismount and mount

extended mobility tires.
