The technology relates to the prediction and handling of tire blowouts for vehicles operating in a self-driving (autonomous) mode. Aspects involve determining a likelihood of tire failure, including actions the vehicle may take to reduce the likelihood of failure. Pre-trip and real-time system checks can be taken. A vehicle model including the tires may be employed in blowout prediction. The on-board system may store received data and detected sensor regarding tire pressure and temperature, which can be evaluated based on the model in order to avoid or minimize the likelihood of a blowout given various factors. The factors can include the load weight and distribution of cargo, current and upcoming weather conditions on the route, the number of miles traveled per tire, and detected obstructions, such as potholes, debris or other roadway impairments. Should a blowout occur, the autonomous system may immediately take any necessary corrective action.
