Default tire popped

while i was in the fast lane on the 210 here in CA

car starts swerving in and out of my lane

and then i finally move towards the exit

when the dumbass in front of me slams on his brakes

and you guys know that popped tire + slamming brakes = NO NO

so i had to hit the brakes and my car swerves all over the place

and i finally exited luckily not hitting anything



is there anything i should look for?

i dont think the rim got messed up

now every noise i hear from my tires i get scared

this was the scariest moment of my life [16 years old]

Must of been dramatic! Were your tires in good condition? My rear are really balled and I'm not sure if they are unsafe to drive with.
