Doesn't sound like pyrolysis would be possible as the story describes the event - but who knows?
I've read several detailed investigative reports on deaths from tire explosions involving pyrolysis. Every one them involved certain factors including #1 a tire heated to a degree that it charred and volatile gasses formed, #2 an oxygen source on the inside of the tire, and #3 there was a source of ignition.
This person was holding a bulging tire inside the car. Even if, let's say it had been overheated from use and had internal volatile gasses - it would need oxygen and a source of ignition to cause pyrolysis. Now, if it ruptured and was open to air, and the guy had a lit cigarette next to it - then maybe?

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
