Was the cause of blowout due to a pothole? How long did you run on it before you came to a stop? If there wasn't too much of a violent impact, I'd probably look more towards improper balancing, or the tire being out of round.

did you tighten up the lugs to the factory spec (80 ft/lbs most likely)? If not, it could be because your tire isn't on securly. Just a thought..
