You guys must think you are driving dragsters instead of a Class A because you seem to be afraid of using the accelerator. Actually flooring any Class A, either diesel or a gasser, may just barely make up for the extra drag of the flat tire. 427435 mentioned about swerving a few feet to the left when you had your blowout. Might have been a problem if you had a truck next to you. From my experience, flooring it will offset the drag just enough so that you don't drift a few feet to the left.

On my blowout, there was no violent pulling to the right, just some shaking of the wheel, and a slight tugging to the right. JMHO, but since I went through this, I don't care what the \"experts\" say, the last thing I wanted was more speed, so accelerating made no sense and never crossed my mind. As an old helicopter and airplane pilot, maintaining control was my first thought, slowing and getting off the road the second thought.
