Around 1962 I had a blowout in the right front tire of my 1952 Oldsmobile. =
It did not have power steering. I was a young strong fellow but that blowou=
t almost tore my wrists off my arms.  The car swerved hard to the right and=
 I left the highway and almost into a ditch. If I had not hit the brakes as=
 hard as I did=2C I would have ended up in that ditch. There was heavy traf=
fic in the oncoming land and if the left front tire had blown I would have =
had a head-on collision and perhaps killed.
=20
So=2C what would a rear tire blowout   (.... or a rear tire losing pressure=
 and going flat ? )  do that is worse than a front tire going flat.    I sh=
ould add that modern tires do not have blowouts like we did back in the 50'=
s and 60's.  So a front tire going flat will make the car extremely difficu=
lt to steer. Whereas=2C a rear tire going down would perhaps make the car w=
ant to over-steer a bit. And that is an easy instinctive driver correction.
