I had one blowout in my 72 220d. it apparently had a nail in it which leaked down until it blew. I misunderstood the swaying of the rear to be from wind.

I have had at least two on a trailer using older tires. A blowout will do a lot of damage to a travel trailer. I generally now replace any tire with less than half tread

When on the road I feel my tires at every stop for heat. If they feel significantly hotter than the others I will correct tire pressure and do repair as needed.
