If you experience a blowout of one of your front tires, your vehicle will likely pull to the side of the blown tire due to the sudden loss of traction and support. This can cause a loss of steering control, making it challenging to maintain a straight path. It's crucial to stay calm, grip the steering wheel firmly, and gradually reduce speed without braking sharply, eventually guiding the vehicle to a safe location.
pull hard in the direction of the deflated tire
Normally from overloading the vehicle or running the tire low of air, or both.
This is an age-old question. Personally, I ALWAYS have the best rubber on the front regardless front-wheel drive or rear. The MOST dangerous place to have a blowout at highway speeds is the left front (driving on the right countries). A blowout tends to pull the vehicle suddenly to the left, i.e., TOWARD oncoming vehicles.Having good tires all the way around is important, certainly, but if you buy a pair at a time, I advise the newest go in front, the older in the rear, and the best of the two being replaced goes to the spare.
If the vehicle is front wheel drive, yes.
On what vehicle
Why? To even out tire wear. The front tires will wear much quicker than the rears on a FWD vehicle. The front tires are pulling the vehicle and are also steering the vehicle. This causes friction which causes wear. You rotate by simply putting the rear tires on the front and the front tires on the rear every 10,000 miles. Click the link and go to Tire Rotation.
DIRECTIONAL tires stay on the same side of the vehicle Front to rear , rear to front
Unless the tires are directional (indicated by an arrow on the sidewall), radial tires can be cross rotated. On FWD vehicles the front tires are moved straight back and the rear tires are crossed to the front. On RWD vehicles the rear tires are moved straight to the front and the front tires are crossed to the rear.
You will experience the vehicle pull sharply toward the side of the blowout. If you do not panic you should be fine. Lift off the accelerator, and lightly apply the brakes. Hold tight to the steering wheel and once you have slowed to about 10 mph move to the side of the road. Accidents happen because people panic and jerk the steering wheel or slam on the brakes.
You cannot rotate tires on a vehicle when the rear tires are wider than the front. They must stay where they are,
rub your tires on the curb to slow your vehicle.
The recommended tire pressure for front and back tires of a vehicle can vary, with front tires typically requiring a slightly higher pressure than the back tires. This difference is usually around 2-3 psi, but it is important to refer to the specific recommendations provided by the vehicle manufacturer for optimal performance and safety.
