Lets say the front tire. If it blows is ther absolutely no way of staying up? How much does it depend upon your speed? I’ve ridden in the country for two years, but then moved to
Front flats are bad, but also extremely uncommon. You are safer at speed with a front flat because the centrifugal force of the tire keeps it somewhat in traction. Aim for the shoulder, preferably to grass because you ARE going to crash when your speed drops.
Rear flats are unsettling, but usually recoverable. DO NOT try to accelerate! Your rear end will fishtail if you do - not good on the freeway. You can use your rear brake GENTLY to help maintian directional control as you slow down. I learned these things during the 40 years that I rode.
Remember - Keep the shiny side up!

If you’ve ever ridden in the dirt its much like hitting sand. Do not brake, let off the gas easy and ride it out.Ive had both front and rear blow-outs at cruising speed on a 700 lb. bike,Scared the $hit out of me but did not “Eat It”. Don’t panic and don’t put the bike down because you woosed out.

always keep good tires you only have two
a front tire blowout is severe and frightening
use the rear brake only as your front tire is already causing much more problems than u need
hang on for dear life and do not turn the wheel
pray pray fast
i have survived both front and rear blowouts at high speed
they are no fun but with luck and keeping your head you may stay upright
