But if you should ever have a “blowout,”

here

are a few

tips about what to expect and what to do:

If a front

tire

fails, the flat tire will create a drag that

pulls the vehicle toward that side. Take your foot off the

accelerator pedal and grip the steering wheel firmly.

a stop well out of the traffic lane.

curve, acts much like a

skid and may require the same correction you’d use in a

skid. In any rear blowout, remove your foot from the

accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle under control by

steering the way you want the vehicle to

go.

It may be

very

bumpy and noisy,

by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your hazard

tire farthest away from the one being changed.

vehicle,

the opposite end.
