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?

I’m not sure I understand your question.
The volume inside the tire *doesn’t* increase until it bursts. The pressure just goes up and up and up until it’s too much for the tire to contain, then it bursts. It’s only after it bursts that the pressure can go down.
