Pneumatic tires are one of these things for which "reality has a surprising amount of detail" holds. Anyone who ever changed a standard tire on a bike can attest to that. There is so much going on: wires inside the tire for stability, cloth to withstand the air pressure (which the tube cannot), beads to interlock with the rim flanges to keep the tire in place (but only when pressurized), etc.
I have witnessed bike tires where the bead/flange interlock wasn't perfect, and the inner tube was quickly swelling out between a small gap between rim and and bead until it burst with a bang that was louder than a gunshot. I once had a tire where the inner cloth was slightly damaged, and the tube was slowly creating a bulge in the tire over several days until it also burst. I found it amazing that all these counteracting forces still create something you can safely drive on, often for years, without problems.
