A tyre can take some serious abuse.
When I was a bit younger and a lot more stupid I drove around with
slightly deflated front tyres.
Then round a corner at very high speed, the rim of the wheel scrapped
the asphalt without blowing the tyre but a lot of sparks.
Really cool to see in the dark.
It looks that the nose wheel was a bit mis-aligned after the plane had
stopped.
