At highway speed, you hear a loud bang, and the car pulls hard to one side. A front tire has blown out. What should you do first?
Blue A is on the highway after a front tire bursts. An enlarged detail of the same approved part shows the flattened front tire. The question has no marked recovery route, chosen steering angle or pedal instruction.
Correct answer: Hold the wheel tightly, steer straight, and slowly ease off the gas
Why
A thumping sound or a pull to one side can warn you of a tire problem before a blowout. Check tire pressure and tread often. When you have control, pull completely off the road at the nearest safe place.
