If Pressure is inversely proportional to volume, theoretically, how does a tire burst if you pump too much air in it? If the volume inside the tire is increasing shouldn’t the pressure decrease?

The pressure does decrease when the volume in the tire increases.
However, the volume in the tire does not increase when you pump air into it – that would require the tire to physically get bigger which only really happens as it bursts.
