Drive or push the vehicle as far away from traffic as possible. If the tire blows out, drive on the rim until you are able to safely pull over or visit a repair station. Lives are more important than the cost of a new rim.
Keep an emergency kit in the rear of the vehicle equipped with flares or warning triangles to alert coming traffic. Position warning signals far enough from the vehicle to enable others a safe distance to slow down. If someone stops to render aid, stay in the vehicle, crack the window and ask them to call for help.
