ORLANDO, Fla. – Over the past week, we’ve seen a few incidents on our roads that all seem to tie back to one common issue — tire blowouts.

Now, I get it — this isn’t something we can exactly circle on our calendars and prepare for like a scheduled oil change.

Blowouts are sudden, unpredictable and often terrifying, but just because we can’t predict when they’ll happen doesn’t mean we can’t do our part to help prevent them and, more importantly, know what to do if we’re ever caught in the moment.

This isn’t just about tires. It’s about the people inside the vehicle. It’s about your family, the strangers in the cars next to you, and the workers on the side of the road just trying to get home to theirs.

So, on today’s stream, we’re going to take a nice, calm drive and have a real conversation about vehicle positioning, staying alert, and understanding how to avoid — or at least minimize — the dangers of a tire blowout.

If we can help even one person feel more prepared and confident behind the wheel, then it’s worth every second.

Join me at 10 a.m. and let’s talk about how to keep rolling safely, one tire at a time.
