If you were riding on an area road near Sandy, Utah and suddenly one of your tires blew out, would you know what to do? Many people would panic in such a situation and would probably swerve violently while attempting to regain control of their cars.

In an effort to help you learn how to best handle a tire blowout, we present the following video:
One important thing to remember as it relates to tire blowouts is that often times they are caused not merely by road conditions, but because the tire itself was defective. Tire manufacturers have issued numerous recalls over the past decade, but all of the recalled tires have not been removed from the nation’s roads. In fact, recent investigative reports have found that even major tire vendors and servicers routinely sell and service recalled tires without notifying the consumer.
