Hi;
About 10yrs ago I had a front tire blowout while doing about 65mph.
previously, I had read in the Greyhound drivers handbook that "in
case of emergency you can apply the park brake". With my blowout,
I was fast enough to do just that. The bus (70' MC-7) shook real bad, but
was completly controllable. I think because of the length of the coach and
the tag axel acted as a rudder and kept things under control.
That was my experience, hope this helps.
Good luck, Merle.
