Tire Blowout Emergencyryanslat 07-20-2003, 03:34 PM What do you do when the rear tire blows out? Do you grab the clutch and coast it out or grab the clutch and front brake? What do you do when the front tire blows out? javawhz 07-20-2003, 10:40 PM I don't know. Suggest you ask Mladin :laughing MasterDrazhar 07-21-2003, 05:21 AM Never had a rear blow out... Had a front blow on me... Couldn't tell you exactly what I did, though I did pull in the clutch (Instinct I guess)... Pretty much me and my passenger just held the fuck on! Ended up that I picked up a funky wedge shapped square nail thing (Was in the back tire, must have gotten picked up when it came back out of the front...)

He said the thought for sure he was going to die. CasterTroy 07-21-2003, 09:05 AM With a blowout, the tire will USUALLY deflate and cause so much friction that you won't NEED brakes......unless you're approaching an intersection and woulda been hammering the brakes ANYWAY Least thats been my experience. A blowout has always been like applying the brakes anyhow :shrug So I'd SAY clutch only and ride it out Reyndogg 07-21-2003, 09:45 AM back tire? :fart pppfffffffffffffffffffffft roll a stoppie yo :woowoo :twofinger | |
