but even if it randomly explodes there are safeguards -- did they get an inspection, can they prove there wasn't negligence?

if someone died because of an exploding tire there very well be criminal charges

For criminal charges, a prosecutor would have to prove there was negligence, which is a higher bar.

No, there will almost never be criminal charges in a case like that. It will be a wrongful death suit.
