Question Why don't your tyres explode

Sitting very bored in the tower the other afternoon a Sleazy Jet departed. I noticed that the tyres are not stored in a 'hold' on a B737. Why don't they explode? It must be like a submarine in reverse. Surely as the a/c climbs the air presure decreases, but the air pressure in the tyres must be the same. Am I just too bored or just a thick ATCO?
