Narrative:
Our beechjet 400A was cleared for takeoff. As the copilot called 80 knots; I noticed I was using more left rudder than normal to maintain runway centerline. I opted to abort per the operations manual and began to slow the aircraft using brakes; reverse thrust; and speed brakes. As the aircraft was coming to a stop; tower advised us that our right tire was on fire. After stopping to the right of the runway centerline; the crew shutdown the aircraft and emergency evacuated the aircraft with our two passengers.
