1995 CHEVROLET CORVETTE spare tire

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Tires
We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with
high-quality tires made by a leading tire manufacturer.
These tires are warranted
by the tire manufacturers and
their warranties are delivered with every new Corvette.
If your spare tire is
a different brand than your road
tires, you will have a tire warranty folder from each of
these manufacturers.

If your Corvette has optional Goodyear Extended
Mobility Tires (EMT’s), the tires will have “EMT”
molded on the sidewalls. Your vehicle 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 tire in the vehicle. Extended Mobility
Tires perform
so 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 a tire’s
inflation pressure is less than
25 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 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.
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 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 kmk), 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. 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 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 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.
See the Goodyear Extended Mobility Tire Owner’s
Manual and Limited Warranty supplied with your
Corvette for additional information.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Inflation - Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label which is on the
driver’s door shows the correct inflation pressures for
your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold” means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven
no more than a mile.
For competitive driving or high-speed driving (over
150 mph or 240 km/h), make sure your tires are inflated
to
35 psi (240 Wa). When you end this type of driving,
reduce the “cold” inflation pressures
(if necessary) to
those listed on the Tire-Loading Information label.
I
I NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overidation is
all right. It’s not. If your tires don’t
have enough
air (underinflation) you can get:
Too much flexing
0 Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
0 Bad handling
0 Bad fuel economy.
(Continued)
I I
I NOTICE: (Continued)
If your tires have too much air (overinflation),
you can get:
0 Unusual wear
0 Bad handling
0 Rough ride
0 Needless damage from road hazards.

When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi (420 Wa).
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell you the
pressure, especially if you have radial tires
-- which
may look properly inflated even if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back
on. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and
moisture.
