You did good- Not hitting the brakes was an essential key to maintaining control.
I also recommend adding full throttle for a second or two, to reverse the dynamics of the front of the coach dropping to one side. Use of the Jake brake also improves safe stopping.
I'm also hesitant to move to the shoulder too quickly as soft shoulders can create additional stopping issues for a rim without tire.
Not only should you check the date code of the remaining tires, but the load rating is very important as well. If you have any questions please call Newell Service at 918 542 5582.
