What happens if a rear tire blows out on the highway?
1 Answers
After a rear tire blowout, the direction will also deviate towards the side of the blown-out tire, but compared to a front tire blowout, the vehicle is somewhat easier to control. When a blowout unfortunately occurs, the first thing to do is to grip the steering wheel firmly with both hands, avoid sudden steering, try to maintain control of the direction, and let the car continue moving forward. At the same time, avoid slamming on the brakes; instead, apply the brakes smoothly to allow the speed to decrease steadily. If a collision with surrounding barriers or guardrails occurs, hold the steering wheel tightly, stabilize your body, and minimize the risk of injury as much as possible. A tire blowout is extremely dangerous. Before using the vehicle, we should develop a good habit of checking the vehicle's condition, especially the tires. In summer, tire pressure should not be too high. If bulges or damage are found on the tires, they should be replaced promptly.
