Thats crazy. Even a mountain bike tire has more pressure than a car tire, and I know that kind of blowout isnt possible on a bike. It looks like the tread separated at the sidewall. Maybe the tire was run at too low a pressure for a very long time, flexing the sidewall a lot, then it blew when the tires were pumped back up? The sidewall probably came apart, and the weight and speed of the car just ripped the tread off. It probably didnt EXPLODE off. Did you lose control of the car at all?
