Why You May Need Tire Change Assistance
Flat tires or tire blowouts can happen at any time—and the causes are varied:
-
Punctures from road debris: Loose nails, shards of glass, or roadway debris are everyday hazards.
-
Underinflation or slow leaks: Tires lose air over time, and low pressure can lead to gradual or sudden failures.
-
Blowouts from heat or overinflation: Houston’s hot temperatures can overinflate tires or weaken their structure.
-
Worn tread or age-related deterioration: Older tires or those with thin tread are more prone to failure.
-
Sidewall or rim damage: Hitting potholes or curbs can damage the tire or rim, causing air loss.
Facing a flat tire can be dangerous—especially on the side of a busy road or freeway. Attempting to change it yourself may expose you to:
-
Risk from passing traffic
-
Unsafe or uneven surfaces
-
Improper use of jacks or tools
-
Seized lug nuts or incorrect wheel reinstallation leading to handling issues
-
Lack of a spare or tools altogether
When time, safety, and peace of mind matter most, Certified Towing & Transport’s tire change service is designed to handle the job for you—professionally and efficiently.
Real-World Tire Blowout Scenarios in Houston
Houston drivers deal with unique road challenges every day. Here are some common situations where a blowout or flat tire can happen:
-
Freeway rush hour: You’re traveling on I-45 during evening traffic when your rear tire suddenly blows out. With cars speeding past on both sides, pulling over safely and waiting for help is the best decision.
-
Neighborhood driving: A slow leak from a nail goes unnoticed until your tire gives out while leaving a grocery store parking lot in Katy.
-
Heavy rainstorms: Houston’s sudden downpours create potholes that are hard to see, and hitting one too hard can bend your rim or burst a tire.
-
Long summer trips: Extreme heat in Texas causes overinflated tires to weaken, leading to dangerous blowouts while heading out of town on Highway 290.
These situations happen daily—and having a trusted roadside partner like us can make the difference between being stranded and being safely back on the road.
What to Do If You Experience a Blowout
If you ever experience a tire blowout while driving in Houston, staying calm is essential. Here’s what we recommend:
-
Grip the wheel firmly
Keep both hands on the wheel to maintain control. -
Avoid slamming on the brakes
This can cause the car to skid. Instead, ease off the accelerator. -
Slow down gradually
Let your car decelerate naturally, then apply the brakes gently. -
Pull over safely
Move to the shoulder or a safe side street, avoiding sharp turns. -
Turn on your hazard lights
Alert other drivers to your situation. -
Call for professional help
Once safe, call Certified Towing & Transport for immediate tire change assistance.
Knowing these steps can help prevent further accidents and keep you safe until help arrives.
Safety Tips While Waiting for Help
While waiting for our team to arrive, your safety is the top priority:
-
Stay inside your vehicle if you’re on a busy freeway. Exiting near fast-moving traffic can be dangerous.
-
Exit on the passenger side if you must get out.
-
Keep your hazard lights on and, if you have them, place reflective triangles or flares behind your vehicle.
-
Avoid standing between your car and oncoming traffic.
-
Stay calm and prepared. Our technicians are dispatched quickly and will update you on their ETA.
Preventive Tire Maintenance Tips
Although tire blowouts can’t always be avoided, following these preventive steps can reduce the risk:
-
Check tire pressure regularly: Low or high pressure is one of the leading causes of blowouts.
-
Inspect tread depth: Worn treads mean less grip and a higher chance of failure. A penny test can quickly show if your tread is too thin.
-
Rotate tires every 5,000–7,500 miles: This ensures even wear.
-
Avoid overloading your vehicle: Too much weight puts stress on your tires.
-
Check for cracks or bulges: Sidewall damage often leads to sudden blowouts.
-
Replace old tires: Even if unused, tires older than six years should be replaced due to rubber deterioration.
Taking these steps helps minimize your risk on the road—but when emergencies do happen, we’ll always be there to assist.
