A tire blowout can be dangerous, especially at high speeds. Here's what to do:

• • Focus on controlling the steering – your car might pull hard to one side.
  • Don’t slam the brakes – ease off the accelerator slowly.
  • Let your vehicle slow down naturally, then steer to the side of the road.
  • Turn on your hazard lights – warn other drivers.
  • Change the tire if it’s safe or call for roadside help.
