Are Our Tires REALLY that sensitive?

I feel the same way. My truck tires last 5 years before the tread wears out. Two of my FW tires had catastrophic failures within 100 miles and they were less than two years old and had less than 10,000 miles on them. I've had issues with tires in the past, so I check the pressures every morning before I start off. I run 65 mph or less on the highway. The last one blew out about a hundred miles into the trip and the sun was just coming up, so overheating and under-inflation weren't an issue.

I would like to go on a trip, but don't dare leave the driveway unless I have new tires on my FW.
