If you suspect a tire failure while riding, what should you do?

When you suspect a tire failure while riding, keeping the motorcycle in a straight line is the safest and most effective response. This approach helps maintain balance and control of the motorcycle, which is critical to avoiding a crash. Sudden movements, such as sharp turns or aggressive braking, can destabilize the motorcycle and lead to a loss of control.

Maintaining a straight path allows the rider to steadily assess the situation and gradually decelerate if necessary, without the risk of tipping over or veering off course. It’s important to focus on steering and maintaining a stable position on the bike, rather than making abrupt adjustments that could exacerbate the situation.
