If you have a tire blowout while driving, you should:

A tire blowout at speed causes a sudden, strong pull toward the side of the failed tire. The correct response is: grip the steering wheel firmly with both hands and counter-steer just enough to maintain your lane. Stay off the brake — braking right after a blowout intensifies the pull and can cause a complete loss of control. Take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle slow naturally. Once speed has dropped (well below highway speed), check your mirrors and gently steer onto the shoulder. The instinct to brake hard is strong, but it is the worst possible response. Anti-lock brakes do not protect against a blowout the way they protect against panic braking; the issue is the disrupted tire grip, not lockup.
