What should you do when a tire blows?

1. Let off the accelerator.

2. Activate your flashers. (Hazard Lights)

3. SLOWLY merge to the shoulder and stop gently.

4... you now have a flat to fix... or a tow truck to call.

Notes:

- Never hit the brake. Your newly blown rim of a tire does not have traction like a normal tire of rubber does. You can and probably will spin out.

- "Donuts" or very small tires that come with a vehicle are only intended to get you to a service shop to purchase a new tire. Driving with a "donut" for extended periods as it's a normal tire can damage your vehicle.
