If
a
Tire
Goes
Flat
It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving,
especially
if
you maintain your tires properly.
If
air goes
out
of
a tire, it’s much more likely
to
leak out slowly.
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.,
Steer to maintain lane position, then gently brake to a
stop well out of the traffic lane.
A
rear blowout, particularly on a 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, but you can still steer. Gently
brake to a stop, well
off
the road if possible.
If a tire goes flat, the next part shows how to
use
your
jacking equipment to change a flat tire safely.
