 * Keep and expand with numerous references which are available or take the present stub and  Merge to Tire, since this was historically (in the days of more fragile tires, with innertubes) a common and dangerous failure mode for tires, and blowouts are not discussed in the tire article. It could always be made a breakout article later when someone cared to expand it.  Blowouts are a leading cause of accidents  (Google news search shows numerous fatalities due to blowouts) and strandings of motorists, and also have cause fatal aircraft accidents. Google book search shows substantial coverage of blowouts in reliable sources at, ,  , , , , , , [. The article could use these sources to cover the important facts that improper inflation is a preventable cause of blowouts, and the facts about proper steering after front or rear blowouts.

 * Keep - Areticle is underdeveloped. There's a lot more to say about catastrophic tire failure than a dictionary definition. ~KvnG 22:45, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
