When the car is driven at high speed for a long time on rough pavement,
the tires and the air inside them heat up.

That causes the air pressure inside the tires to increase, and the increased
pressure tries to make the tires bigger (they ARE made of rubber, after all).

Normally, the tires do expand a little. But if this goes on for too long, or
if there's a weak spot on the tire, a blowout is possible.
