Nose Gear Strength

How much of a punishment can these take on something lets say the size of a 37 or 319? On landing I've seen some fairly hard nose wheel bounces and was wondering what would consitute a hard enough landing that would either initate a hard landing check afterwords or in the worst case, complete collapse/failure of the gear? Also, are the nose gear tires prone to bursting on exceptionally hard landings? Thanks for your help in advance!
