If a rear tire blows out, what is likely to happen?

When a rear tire blows out, the most likely outcome is that the wheel will wobble and there may be a slight pull to one side. This is due to the loss of air pressure in the tire, leading to a loss of stability and traction on that side of the vehicle. The rear of the vehicle may start to sway or feel loose as you drive, but it generally doesn't lead to an immediate loss of control if managed correctly.

In this situation, the driver should focus on maintaining a steady grip on the steering wheel and gradually slowing down while steering the vehicle to a safe area. It's important to avoid sudden movements or over-steering, which could indeed cause the vehicle to lose control.

The other outcomes associated with a blown rear tire, such as spinning out of control or the steering becoming unresponsive, are less common. While it is true that a blowout can lead to a situation where control is compromised if not handled properly, the straightforward consequence after a rear tire blowout is typically the wobble and pull described in the correct answer.
