This strikes me as a technical question.

Tyre fires are assumed under the FAR/JARS more particularly under max breaking conditions. Even with a tyre fire the airplane manufacturer must show by testing that the fuselage will not be penetrated for a finite period of time (time for the passengers to egress).
