What would cause a 2 wk old tyre to just blowout?

Yep, exactly like that :)

 

In that case I would say its been allowed to run at a pressure to low which has prob weakened the side wall and its eventually let go, either that or it was damaged before you got it or during fitting.

on a low profile tyres it only takes a few hundred yards at low prerssure before it will fall apart. you could have picked up a puncture as you were driving, 60 seconds later at 60mph you are left with shredded rubber
