Why doesn't a plane's tyre burst while landing?

Have you ever thought, after all that speed and force, why an airplane tyre does not burst while landing?

The answer lies in the construction of an airplane tyre.

Airplane tyres are thoroughly tested before ending up on a plane. Tyres are made to withstand thrice the rated pressure.

The tyres have extensive usage of Nylon, in addition to the processed rubber. Also, for commercial airlines, the size is also quite large.

This is why airplane tyres do not burst while landing.
