There are several things that can cause a tire to blow.

-you can run over a piece of road debris or a sharp rock that'll cut the tire bad enough to blow

-sheer mileage can cause the tire to wear through to the casing, at which point it'll have lost a lot of strength and may blow at any moment.

- poor wheel alignment can cause the tire to wear through to the casing, at which point it'll have lost a lot of strength and may blow at any moment

- low pressure can cause the tire to heat up, which makes the rubber softer and the tire weaker which can cause it to blow

- heavy load can cause the tire to heat up, which makes the rubber softer and the tire weaker which can cause it to blow

overinflation can cause it to blow just like when a balloon pops.

How much air pressure will cause a tire to blow up?

It really depends on a lot of factors. Once I had a 35psi tire "blow up" on 45 psi ... and it was the spare. (It didn't blow up - it sort of quietly disintegrated over a matter of about 10 minutes.) usually a tire is OK at twice its rated pressure - but remember, fast running and/or low pressure can cause quite a rise in the pressure of a tire. I've measured 75 in a 45 psi tire after a long run.
