Ohio Engineer,
When our Michelin blew out while parked in our garage there was a large hole in the sidewall and the cords were rusty. I'm not sure what to call that other than a blow out. :B

Or more like this Run Low Flex failure
I think CapriRacer is a retired tire engineer and maybe can offer a comment if/when he sees this post.
Of course a picture of your tire would help too.
"failing" in the garage is nothing more that a demonstration of the "T" (time) function in the failure of organic materials (rubber) which is not seen in materials like steel.
THIS page has lots of material strength formula but you will not see a "Time" function because none of the materials are organic.
It didn't fail because it was in the garage. It failed because of what happened to it weeks and months prior.
