Thanks for that video, it is very informative. I knew not to step on the brake but found stepping on the fuel pedal interesting. Sure hope I never have to use this info, but glad I saw it.

I feel that if we maintain tire pressure and age limitations, it will mitigate this happening, but stuff happens!... so good to have this in your backpocket ...

Have a friend with a big Monaco that experienced a blow out on the L/F which caused a swerve and took out the R/F tire and into a gaurd rail, totaly destroyed the coach.. luckly bumps and bruising all survived... He hit the brakes.... His steer tires were 5 years old..

FYI: I've had two left front blow outs in 33 years of coach ownership. Both tires were under 3 years old and tire pressures had been checked in the morning. Although I've seen a similar video for truckers, it is a good refresher! Thanks Jimmy.....................

I blew out an almost new Toyo front tire doing 70 on I-10. Wish I had seen this video beforehand. While there was minimal damage, no one hit me, did not roll, but may not be so lucky the next time.
