Narrative:
I lined up on [the] runway; pushed up the thrust levers to 40% and watched the engines stabilize. I then pushed the toga button and the engines accelerated to 88.8%. All was normal past 80 KTS. Then we felt a bump and then a vibration coming from the tires. I aborted about 110 kts; the spoilers failed to deploy with the reversers. I then deployed the spoilers; the airplane slowed quickly! I released the brakes around 40 kts. The airplane came to a stop on the center line. I made a PA for passengers to remain seated. The first officer (first officer) called the tower and reported that we aborted on runway and requested the fire trucks. I then started the APU and shut the engines down. All engine indications were normal before shut down. Upon the fire truck's arrival; they informed me that the left main tire had blown. The fire crew quickly put fans on both of the main brakes. I didn't set the brakes. We then called for maintenance. When the maintenance crew arrived; he told me that the #2 tire had blown and that the #1 engine was badly damaged. I pulled the circuit breakers to the voice/data recorders. We arranged for the passengers to deplane and bused back to the terminal. No injuries were reported. Entries were made.both the first officer and I did not see any debris on the runway during the takeoff run. So; as to why the tire blew is unknown to me. There were rubber pieces most likely from the tire inside the engine behind the fan blades. Rubber from the tire was most likely the cause of engine damage.
