tyre pressures on landing?

I know that a 747-400 has a main gear tyre pressure of approx 200psi, but what does it rise to on the moment of impact with the runway? Anyone ever looked at EICAS at that moment? I'd be interested to know that's all, anyone know what the absolute pressure limit is for those kind of tyres before they go bang?!
