When a tire bursts, the sudden loss of air pressure can cause the car to suddenly veer to the side of the blowout. A driver’s instinctive reaction is to steer hard to the other side. But this is a bad idea; the over-correction will cause the driver to lose control, especially at highway speeds. If this happens, the driver may cause an accident involving other vehicles.

There are ten reasons why tire blowouts occur:

1. The tire is overinflated
2. The tire is underinflated
3. The tire has damaged tread
4. The tire has not been well maintained
5. The tires are defective
6. The pavement on the road is damaged or has potholes
7. There is debris or objects in the road
8. The vehicle is carrying an excessively heavy load
9. The weather is bad
10. The weather is hot
