My Firestone 721's back in the '70s appeared to have broken from the inside and then blew out. The belts separated causing the tire to cup, separate and then blow out. I had this happen to my fronts first, but the rears showed evidence of it as well. Firestone admitted that the 7 wrapped by 2 then by 1 tire, caused friction which broke the steel belts.
