This is a great video of a what happens inside a tire while it's moving. It is amazing to watch, and wait until the end, and you can see the water vapor escaping with the air when it deflates. I never had any idea what was going on inside the wheel, and the tire moves a lot more than I ever thought.

If you watch it you can see why maintaining to correct tire pressure is so important. Too high, and it will ride harsh, and too low it can bend a wheel, or just destroy itself. You can even see alignment movements, and load changes on the tire.
 
Also helps illustrate why sidewall/shoulder repairs are not a good idea. And why a mushroom patch would be better than a plug.

I'd have like to see what it looks like to hit a pothole at higher speeds, and deformation under cornering loads.
