Tyre Blowout
A tyre blowout is a sudden, rapid loss of air from a tyre while driving, which can pull the car sideways.
What is Tyre Blowout?
Common causes are underinflation, overloading, impact damage and old tyres. A front blowout affects steering; a rear one can make the car unstable. Regular pressure checks greatly reduce the risk. Use hazard lights and a warning triangle after stopping.
How it works
Overheating or damage weakens the tyre structure until it fails under load.
Why it matters for your car
Hold the steering firmly, ease off the accelerator and avoid hard braking. Pull over safely once the car has slowed down.
