During a blowout, which direction might your vehicle pull towards?

During a blowout, the vehicle may pull to the left or right depending on which tire has failed and the vehicle's current load and alignment. However, if a front tire blows out, the vehicle typically pulls toward the side of the blowout. In this case, if the left front tire blows, the vehicle will lean and steer to the left. Conversely, a blowout in the right front tire would cause the vehicle to pull to the right.

Understanding this phenomenon is crucial for safe driving, as drivers must be prepared to control the vehicle's direction when a tire fails. Maintaining a firm grip on the steering wheel and gently steering in the opposite direction of the pull can help regain control, minimizing the potential for a loss of control or an accident.
