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.
