Narrative:
Approach was normal, touchdown was firm. All 4 main tires blew out on touchdown. Aircraft tracked normally on centerline to a stop using only reverse. Suspect antiskid failure. Runway 26L was chosen because of temperature/altitude/landing weight would exceed maximum quick turn weights. Did not plan on using much braking. Seemed to be a temperature wind shear on roundout as aircraft accelerated as power was reduced. Change on runway confign to facilitate landing and taking off with a headwind, especially at den. No injuries, 4 main tires blown, left gear door damaged by tires. Puncture under wing from gear door. Supplemental information from acn 275067: during flare, I felt a wind shear or push from the rear. Touchdown was from approximately 2000 ft to 2500 ft down the runway. Vibration was felt immediately and increased during rollout until we came to a stop approximately 500 ft from the end of the runway. Passenger were deplaned using air stairs through the forward left door.

Title: B-727 BLOWS TIRES ON LNDG PROC DOWNWIND LNDG. PIC CITES AN ACFT EQUIP PROB AS CAUSAL.
Narrative: APCH WAS NORMAL, TOUCHDOWN WAS FIRM. ALL 4 MAIN TIRES BLEW OUT ON TOUCHDOWN. ACFT TRACKED NORMALLY ON CTRLINE TO A STOP USING ONLY REVERSE. SUSPECT ANTISKID FAILURE. RWY 26L WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE OF TEMP/ALT/LNDG WT WOULD EXCEED MAX QUICK TURN WTS. DID NOT PLAN ON USING MUCH BRAKING. SEEMED TO BE A TEMP WIND SHEAR ON ROUNDOUT AS ACFT ACCELERATED AS PWR WAS REDUCED. CHANGE ON RWY CONFIGN TO FACILITATE LNDG AND TAKING OFF WITH A HEADWIND, ESPECIALLY AT DEN. NO INJURIES, 4 MAIN TIRES BLOWN, L GEAR DOOR DAMAGED BY TIRES. PUNCTURE UNDER WING FROM GEAR DOOR. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 275067: DURING FLARE, I FELT A WIND SHEAR OR PUSH FROM THE REAR. TOUCHDOWN WAS FROM APPROX 2000 FT TO 2500 FT DOWN THE RWY. VIBRATION WAS FELT IMMEDIATELY AND INCREASED DURING ROLLOUT UNTIL WE CAME TO A STOP APPROX 500 FT FROM THE END OF THE RWY. PAX WERE DEPLANED USING AIR STAIRS THROUGH THE FORWARD L DOOR.
