Most common reason would be due to a split within the tyre structure which gives a 'exploding' effect due to when the rubber of the compound reaches breaking point, it splits very fast. So actually, they don't explode but just split very fast. Cause of the split can be due to tyre compound failure like at silverstone going couple years back or a collision of a front wing of a car onto another car's tyre.

Will your tires explode if your car is struck by lightning?
It is possible for a car's tires to explode if struck by lightning due to the heat generated, but it is rare. The electrical current would likely follow the metal frame of the car instead. It's best to seek shelter during a lightning storm to avoid any potential risks.
Why should you fill automobile tires with air not with water?
Water is way too heavy to put in tires, plus in the winter it will settle and freeze so your tires will be off balance. Also about the winter part, if you completely filled your tires with water and let the water freeze, the tires would explode, since water expands when it freezes.

Tires of a truck have grooves where as tires of a formula racing car are smooth can you think of a reason?
Race cars use tires with no grooves (or 'Slicks') as they provide the most surface area contact with the road which provides the most grip. More grip = more stability. The slicks are only used when the track is dry enough as they will not clear away water, they are more likely to lose contact with the track and hydroplane/aquaplane, which will cause a loss of grip. In Formula 1 when the track becomes too wet for slicks they will change tires to either Intermediate or Wet tires which feature different depth grooves for driving on a wet track. A road car cannot use slick tires as it must be suitable for driving in any condition at any given time, plus all 4 tires of a Formula 1 race car can be changed in a little more than 2 seconds, I doubt you'd be able to manage that with a road legal vehicle.
