Blowing a tire is always sudden and often shocking on the highway, and it always occurs when you least expect it to. That is why we want you to keep the following simple steps in mind to preserve your vehicle and stay safe during a blowout.

Steps to Take

The first step is to remain as calm as possible. Remaining calm can ensure you follow the rest of these steps and keep your vehicle from sustaining any more damage. Next, do not press hard on your brakes. Instead, let your vehicle slow down naturally. Turn on your warning lights so others on the highway notice you are slowing down. Get to the shoulder of the road you are on and come to a stop. If you have a spare tire and the know-how to change it, feel free to do so. However, if this is not the case, contact a professional to tow your vehicle to a nearby service center.
