Stay off the brake involved with the tire that goes!!! Steering will be crumby, no matter which tire. Roll off the throttle & steer to the shoulder. Say 10 Hail Mary's & call a tow.

The front tire blowout is worse than the rear tire blowout. Rear tire blowouts are easy. And it's definitely not as bad with tubeless tires as it was with innertubes. Innertubes blow quick Radials blow slowly, leaving you with really mushy handling and wiggle. But it's usually controllable. Don't freeze on the steering (easy to say, but try). Stay off brakes, signal to get off the road, and carefully try to steer it to the side.

had a rear blow out at 80mph in the middle lane on motorway,
throttle of gently don't touch the rear brake if its the rear that's gone grip the seat with your cheeks & ease over to the hard sholder,
as for the front dont know apart from dont use front brake & dont try to turn just drift over

Don't brake hard, If it's the front move weight to the rear, If its the rear move weight to the front, Hang on to the bars and slow down to a stop.....Then thank the Lord you are still in one piece!!!

its best to lock up both brakes and honk the horn when that happens cause you'd have to be stoned to operate a motorcycle with a defective tire on the highway
