Will the Direction Be Out of Control if the Rear Tire Blows Out?

[OJesse]

Rear tire blowout will cause the direction to be out of control. The danger of a rear tire blowout is far greater than that of a front tire blowout, especially for rear-wheel-drive models. At the moment of a blowout, the car will immediately fishtail and lose control, with almost no chance of recovery. When a rear tire blows out, the adhesion of one side of the tire disappears instantly, causing the car to immediately sideslip and fishtail, just like a car skidding on an icy road. Under normal circumstances, if a front tire blows out, a left front tire blowout will cause the car to veer to the left, and a right front tire blowout will cause the car to veer to the right. However, with a rear tire blowout, the car will lose steering force and may suddenly experience oversteering, commonly referred to as "fishtailing." In severe cases of fishtailing, the car may spin around, similar to what is seen in movies or live racing broadcasts. Therefore, comparatively speaking, the danger caused by a rear tire blowout at high speeds is more severe. For example, if the right rear tire blows out, the resistance of the blown-out wheel increases by about 30 times, causing the car to experience a clockwise yaw moment. This yaw moment makes the car veer to the right and simultaneously generates a lateral force pointing toward the inside of the blown-out tire, causing the rear of the car to experience a lateral sliding force toward the inside of the blown-out tire.
