What Should You Do After a Tyre Burst?

1. Keep the Steering Wheel Firm

Hold the steering wheel firmly and keep the vehicle moving in a controlled direction.

A sudden tyre failure can affect handling, so avoid sharp steering movements.

2. Reduce Speed Gradually

Take your foot off the accelerator and allow the vehicle to slow down gradually.

Avoid sudden braking where possible.

3. Move to a Safe Location

Once you have enough control, move away from moving traffic and stop somewhere safe.

If you are on a busy road, prioritize getting yourself and passengers away from immediate traffic danger.

4. Turn on Your Hazard Lights

Switch on your hazard lights to make the vehicle more visible to other drivers.

Do not stand close to moving traffic while inspecting the vehicle.

5. Do Not Continue Driving on the Damaged Tyre

Once the tyre has burst, do not attempt to continue driving normally.

A damaged tyre and wheel may require professional inspection, and continuing to drive can cause additional damage.

Should You Repair or Replace a Burst Tyre?

A tyre that has suffered a serious blowout may not be suitable for repair.

A technician needs to inspect:

• Tyre damage
• Sidewall condition
• Tread condition
• Wheel condition
• Any additional damage caused by the failure

If the tyre is structurally damaged, tyre replacement may be the safest option.

If another tyre has a minor repairable issue, professional tyre repair may be possible.

The correct solution depends on the actual condition of the tyre.

When Should You Call Mobile Tyre Assistance?

If your tyre bursts and you cannot safely drive to a tyre shop, calling a mobile tyre service can be the practical option.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Tyre Blowout

A tyre burst is not something to treat as a normal puncture.

Driving on a damaged tyre can affect vehicle control and may cause further damage to the wheel or other components.

If the tyre has burst, stop safely and arrange professional assistance instead of trying to reach a tyre shop on the damaged tyre.

How to Reduce the Risk of a Tyre Burst

Regular tyre checks can help identify potential problems before they become serious.

Check:

• Tyre pressure
• Tread condition
• Sidewalls
• Cracks
• Bulges
• Uneven wear
• Signs of damage

Replace tyres when they are no longer safe to use, and have unusual tyre problems professionally inspected.
