What causes airliner tyres to burst as often as they do? Tyres burst - not just fail - remarkably often. The Aviation Herald lists 26 tyre-related incidents this year. 

I'd expect fast landings or overweight landings and heavy braking to be implicated, but often, tyres burst during the take-off roll:


Nordica CRJ9 at Kiev and Tallinn on Jun 4th 2019, burst tyre
American B738 at Kingston and Miami on May 7th 2019, tyre damage on departure
American B738 at Vancouver on Apr 19th 2019


Some other failures also appear very regularly (cabin pressurisation, flaps, landing gear). However, these are of complex systems that have many interacting parts, and they also exhibit multiple ways of failing.

Car tyres, which are maintained much less well than aircraft tyres and travel far greater distances over much harsher surfaces, very rarely burst, even when they fail.

Why do the tyres of these large aeroplanes burst rather than fail in other ways? What is it about the way that aircraft tyres are made, or the conditions that they are subjected to, that cause them to burst as often as they do?
Car tires aren't really comparable. 

Car tires: 


make a lot of miles, but in mostly benign circumstances. Low speeds mean little heating (and slow changes in temperature).
failures are often caused by debris in the road rather than structural failure of the tire itself. (Although on trucks, structural failure is more common)
must be replaced when the tire profile reaches a minimum depth, which means you can't keep using the tire until structural failure happens.
are generally thrown away when the profile reaches minimum depth, because car tires are cheap enough that retreading is not necessary


Airplane tires: 


rapidly go through temperature cycles (in-flight: -50 ºC, and on touchdown they rapidly heat up to several hundred ºC)
are kept at much higher pressures (13 bar versus 2 bar for car tires), so if there's a failure it's more likely to be catastrophic.
need to run at high speeds (300 km/h and more)
carry a lot of weight (up to 38 tons, vs. 500 kg for a car tire and 5 tons for a truck tire), which explains why they need such high pressures.
have to be lightweight
are often refurbished
