Usually, semi trucks' tires don't just blow out, they explode violently. In fact, you'll see many videos online of such events. Such blowouts can be dangerous to other road users and if you are driving right next to a semi when it happens, your car can be damaged by the explosion. Due to this danger - and in order to get out of their blind spot - never drive right next to a semi for a prolonged period. The truck may remain stable, but you could experience this explosion when in close proximity.
