If tire blows don‘t panic A‘rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a skid and may require a skidâ€"type correction (counter steering). In any rear blowout, remove your foot from the accelerator, get the car under control (it may be extremely bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer) and gently brake to a stop well off the road, if possible. In an emergency situation such as a blowout, do your best to react quickly without panic. Do not slam on the brakes. Modulate your brakes and conâ€" stantly seek an escape route or area of less danger. A tire blowout is not as common today as in years past, especially for drivers who properly maintain their tires, but it can happen. Automotive specialists at General Motors offer a few tips an what to do if you experience a sudden tire failure. If a front tire fails, either in a curve or on a straightâ€"away, the flat tire will proâ€" duce a "drag" that pulls the vehicle toward the side on which the blowout occurs. When a front tire fails, immediâ€" ately take your foot off the accelerator, be sure you have a firm grip of the steering wheel, steer to maintain lane position, then gently brake to a stop well out of the traffic lane.
