How to Survive a Tire Blowout

A tire blowout happens when there's a rapid loss of air pressure in the tire. It can lead you to lose control of the vehicle and cause a massive crash. In the U.S., there is an average of 11,000 tire-related motor vehicle crashes every year, causing 200 deaths. But you're not going to be one of them. Why shouldn't you hit the brakes? Why are your tires most vulnerable in the spring? And how could a clock save your life?
