They seem to be so small and unstable, thinking about the weight of the airplane, especially filled with passangers and luggage. How do they carry the weight, as well as being able to accelerate and break and everything?

Unlike a car tire they don’t need to be engineered for much traction, uneven terrain, or a comfterable ride. They need to roll a few thousand feet at a time in a straight line down what is usually a very well maintained stretch of asphalt. They mostly just need to carry weight and withstand the varying temperature and preasure conditions as the aircraft changes altitude.
