Blow out, what next??

Just wondering what you all do if you have one of the rear tires blow out? I have road service but should I use it or try to limp into a shop within a few miles. I also have a spare tire ready to install but road is super busy. What would you all do.? I'm just asking this for future info. Thanks for your input.

    Seenyour post in my better half post. I didn't know she was posting it.
  • As Darsben said. If you tried driving too far your risking more damage, possibly to the remaining tire on that corner and more importantly and expensively damage to the MH and components near that wheel from flapping tire pieces.
    If you did try to limp a couple of miles to a shop, is there any guarantee that they can help you, you will also be a hazard to yourself and others driving very slowly on your busy road.
