Why airplane tires don’t pop on landing

Airplanes wheels are composed of Aramid fibers (strong heat-resistant synthetic fibers), nylon and a material called ACSR (Aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable — Wikipedia) composed of a core of steel fibers surrounded by fibers of pure aluminum.

To withstand the impact, the wheels are inflated with 2 times the pressure of truck wheels and 6 times that of car wheels.

They are inflated with nitrogen, more inert than air and therefore less susceptible to changes in pressure and temperature.

All these measures allow the wheel of an airplane to withstand up to 38 tons, more than enough to guarantee a safe landing.
