What should you do if a tire blows out while you are driving?

Pump the brakes repeatedly
Downshift and roll to a stop
Accelerate to maintain speed
Grip the steering wheel and maintain the speed

The correct answer is: Downshift and roll to a stop

If a tire blows out while you are driving, you should downshift and roll to a stop. This is the safest option as it allows you to maintain control of the vehicle and lessen the impact of the blown tire. The other options, such as pumping the brakes repeatedly or accelerating, may cause your vehicle to skid or spin out of control. Holding onto the steering wheel and maintaining speed also does not address the issue of the blown tire and can lead to further loss of control.
