Some road hazards can damage a tire beyond repair.
This damage could occur even before you have driven on
the tire in a deflated condition. When a tire has been
damaged, or if you have driven any distance on a run-flat
tire, check with an authorized run-flat tire service center
to determine whether the tire can be repaired or should
be replaced. To maintain your vehicle’s run-flat feature,
all replacement tires must be self-supporting tires. As
soon as possible, contact the nearest authorized GM or
run-flat servicing facility for inspection and repair or
replacement. To locate the nearest GM or run-flat
servicing facility, call Roadside Assistance. For phone
numbers and Roadside Service details see Roadside
Assistance Program on page 7-7.

Run-flat tires are constructed differently than other
tires and could explode during improper service.

attempt to repair, replace, dismount, or mount a
run-flat tire. Let only an authorized run-flat service
center repair, replace, dismount, and mount
run-flat tires.
The valve stems on your run-flat tires have sensors that
are part of the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 5-73. These
sensors contain batteries which are designed to last
for 10 years under normal driving conditions. See your
dealer/retailer 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 the
vehicle’s run-flat tires. This damage would not be
covered by warranty. Do not use liquid sealants
in the vehicle’s run-flat tires.
