Why did my tube blow?

[onimity]

I've never had this happen but on a group ride a few weeks ago a guy was talking about how he had inflated his tires in his cool garage the night before a ride and then went out to ride in extreme heat the next day...his tire pressure increased from the heat and kablam. His buddy said he had a (bike) tire blow in the back of his car as he was driving to the mountains to ride.

I blew a tire in freezing weather once. It was a hard freeze morning, the bike sat in the shed all night and I added air to the tire before I took off. It blew less then a mile away from home. I do not fill my tires up on freezing mornings or extremely hot afternoons. As a matter of fact in the summer time I fill the tire about 10 psi less then max. Until it happened, I never thought about it.
