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
repairedor should be replaced. To maintain your
vehicle’sextended mobility feature, all replacement tires
mustbe Extended Mobility Tires. As soon as possible,
contactthe nearest authorized GM or Goodyear EMT
servicingfacility for inspection and repair or replacement.
Tolocate the nearest GM or Goodyear EMT servicing
facility,call Roadside Assistance. For phone numbers
andRoadside Assistance details see Roadside
AssistanceProgram on page 7-6. You may also contact
Goodyear,for the nearest authorized EMT servicing
facility,by calling 1-800-789-9878.
{CAUTION:
Extended mobility tires are constructed
differently than other tires and could explode
during improper service. You or others could
be injured or killed if you attempt to repair,
replace, dismount, or mount a extended
mobility tire. Let only an authorized EMT
Service Center repair, replace, dismount and
mount extended mobility tires.
The valve stems on your extended mobility tires have
sensors that are part of the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM). See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page5-61.
The TPM sensors contain batteries which are designed
to last for 10years under normal driving conditions.
See your dealer if you ever need to have a wheel
replaced, or if the sensors ever need replacement.
Notice: Using liquid sealants can damage the tire
valves and tire pressure monitor sensors in your
extended mobility tires. This damage would not be
covered by warranty. Don’t use liquid sealants
in your extended mobility tires.
