Answer

What should you do if your car has a serious tyre problem on Mallorca's roads?

If a tyre failure leaves your car unsafe to drive, the safest choice is to stop as soon as it can be done without danger and call for breakdown assistance. Continuing on a motorway or autopista can quickly put other drivers at risk, especially where traffic is heavy and hard shoulders are limited. On Mallorca, it is better to wait for help than to try to reach a workshop by driving on damaged wheels.
