Blow outs have nothing to do with tire age. Blow outs usually are caused by external forces (ie running over a mega pothole, running over some shit in the road, etc), and less frequently by inferior tires (usually from no name Chinese brands).
Old tires get hard and lose grip. That's it. There's countless little old grannies driving around in 2002 Camrys with the original tires on them without issue.
