Exploded ? Dangerous.

1. What Goodyear model was it ?
2. Tyre manufactured when ?
3. Tyre pressure applied ?
4. What speed were you traveling ?
5. Was the tyre still with thread or without ?
6. Was it dry or wet condition when tyre burst ?

Do you remember hitting anything which may have damage the tyre substantially or grazing the tyre which could have impede its performance ?

Like grazing the curb or low barriers or perhaps did you bump into something before the explosion ?

That's correct as well there is why you need a tyre gauge to check the pressure again the next day before driving.

For a properly constructed tyre, over inflating will not cause it to burst but bulge instead as the tyre is heated up by friction the air inside expands. The expansion will then force or rather find a weak spot in the construction to form a swell.

Strike's tyre was a new Goodyear the most 2 years at best. As for Goodyear my parents have used them and now I myself am using them for years. No explosion 💥 whatsoever with Goodyear, so Strikes post got my attention really good.

I have inspected other cases of blown out tyres but those are inferior quality tyres. I remember inspecting a blown out tyre at the petrol station. New car just received a month ago and the tyre blew just blew out ! Visual inspection of the tyre looks really good but the side walls just failed to hold up ???

The owner was furious. The car looks very clean and well taken of. So I suspect the owner is careful but when questioned further he said he might have grazed the side walls accidentallly.
