I had a blow out, well a tire valve stem failure going about 80 on the down hill side of some mountian picking up speed to get over the next one. I was in the suburban, loaded down with tools pulling my trailer.
That tire is still in use, the suburban and trailer are still in one peice.
As long as you are not driving a ford explorer and don't panic you will be fine.
Years before that I had 3 firestone tires tread seperate on me at varrious speeds at different times.
