Best Answer

Try to stay in your current lane to avoid hitting other vehicles.

Slow down gradually so that you don't get rear ended.

Put on flashers as soon as practical.

Move the vehicle to the median or berm as quickly as possible.

Do not hit the brake. Lift off the accelerator, slowly apply the brake, hold the steering wheel tightly, and you will be fine. Most important is to not panic. The chances of having a blowout with modern tires is very slim. As long as you keep your tires inflated to the correct pressure and replace them when they are worn to 2/32" you will not have a blow out.
