If you have a blow out on a front tire, you can directly control the direction of travel with the steering wheel. Rear tire not so much. Odds of new tire blowing out should be less than older tires.

I have been reading the answers looking for this. Driver training has taught us this over the years. You can take some corrective action when having an issue with front tire/tires by steering, but cannot with rears.


Apparently you were absent during the whole “steer in the direction of skid” portion of driver’s training ?


I thought I got mine in 6th grade driving go karts with slicks on mud, but then I stumbled on old 8mm home movies when I was 3 pedaling my red tractor on the bad mitten court that I watered with a hose, because copious amounts of oversteer was "cool". drive

That hasn't changed. beer

PS, I have yet to meet a truck driver that prefers a front tire blow out over a rear, no matter what the truck.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
