the Highway. A must see video that just might avoid damage to your RV

Steering on a Tire Blowout
Hi All,
This is exactly what I did coming home from Key West to NY, twenty miles from my storage facility, on I87, I got a blow out on the left front, and seeing a video like it before, did exactly that, at the moment of the tire blowing out I mashed down on theaccelerator and got the bus under control and started to slow down and pull onto the shoulder, nothing damaged except some insulation in the wheel well!!! The tire came completely off the rim!!!
So this really does work!!! It is good to learn and administer if it happens to you!!!

Good to know Larry. You must have had some damage to the wheel if the tire came off completely

Hi Rob,
Not much, it just ground the outside of the rim, still in use with the spare...

Thanks for the video posting on a flat. I knew what to do, but now I have a clear understanding of why.

Thanks Tim,
That was something that I never learned in driver's ed. I've now copied the
you tube link and will watch this again from time to time. Some of us Irish are
slow learners Smile

Steering on a Tire Blowout
In 2004 I had a blow out on the Freeway in Fort Worth, Texas going about
55 mph.

It was the right front tire and I reacted by holding the wheel tightly,
removing foot from accelerator, and letting the vehicle slow naturally.
I was in the right lane and proceeded about 1/4 mile to next exit. The
rim was not damaged but the mud flap was knocked out and there was no
other damage. The bus controlled nicely and the experience was low
stress by my standards.

I've experienced about 6 or 7 high speed blow outs on different
vehicles, especially when younger and enjoyed driving fast, and all
experiences were similar.
