The tires absorb very little of this energy. The energy that they do absorb is due to the flexing of the tire, especially of the side wall.

This is a very important safety consideration, affecting the controllability and stability of the car at high speeds. Almost all of this energy is absorbed and controlled by the car's suspension. Depending upon the suspension configuration: the springs, shock absorbers and torsion bars, in various iterations & combinations work in concert to safely absorb this energy.
