Whenever you decide to go for a drive on the highway, you should always check your tires with a tire gauge. At minimum at least perform a visual inspection to make sure there are no cracks in the sides and rubber looks properly inflated. Still, your tires are not impenetrable.  Marco Ferro was going for a drive with his friends recording a car singalong when one of the car tires exploded! Thankfully, they were all OK.
