Narrative:
The aircraft touched down during normal landing. Upon touchdown, aircraft decelerated rapidly straight ahead, then pulled slightly left and come to a stop on runway. It felt like a flat tire. Investigation showed it was in fact all 4 main tires. The wheels appeared to have never turned during landing. Wheel and tire and brake assemblies were replaced with no other indication of system failure and aircraft was returned to service. Suspect antiskid failure. Or partial parking brake application. Undetermined if it was parking brake. It could have had a foreign object wedged under parking brake handle. If parking brake was inadvertently set, could have been caused by parking brake handle proximity to trim wheels and small cockpit causing pilot's flight case to be posed just behind center console requiring it to be constantly pushed away from aileron trim. Contributing could have been fatigue caused by continued use of reduced rest overnight. Complacency involving deterioration of sterile cockpit procedures. Also, a major contributing factor may have been fatigue caused by a very hot cockpit where air conditioner was not adequate to cool cockpit to reasonable temperatures.

Title: ACR LTT BLOWS ALL 4 TIRES IN LNDG PROC ROLLOUT.
Narrative: THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN DURING NORMAL LNDG. UPON TOUCHDOWN, ACFT DECELERATED RAPIDLY STRAIGHT AHEAD, THEN PULLED SLIGHTLY L AND COME TO A STOP ON RWY. IT FELT LIKE A FLAT TIRE. INVESTIGATION SHOWED IT WAS IN FACT ALL 4 MAIN TIRES. THE WHEELS APPEARED TO HAVE NEVER TURNED DURING LNDG. WHEEL AND TIRE AND BRAKE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED WITH NO OTHER INDICATION OF SYS FAILURE AND ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SVC. SUSPECT ANTISKID FAILURE. OR PARTIAL PARKING BRAKE APPLICATION. UNDETERMINED IF IT WAS PARKING BRAKE. IT COULD HAVE HAD A FOREIGN OBJECT WEDGED UNDER PARKING BRAKE HANDLE. IF PARKING BRAKE WAS INADVERTENTLY SET, COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY PARKING BRAKE HANDLE PROX TO TRIM WHEELS AND SMALL COCKPIT CAUSING PLT'S FLT CASE TO BE POSED JUST BEHIND CTR CONSOLE REQUIRING IT TO BE CONSTANTLY PUSHED AWAY FROM AILERON TRIM. CONTRIBUTING COULD HAVE BEEN FATIGUE CAUSED BY CONTINUED USE OF REDUCED REST OVERNIGHT. COMPLACENCY INVOLVING DETERIORATION OF STERILE COCKPIT PROCS. ALSO, A MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR MAY HAVE BEEN FATIGUE CAUSED BY A VERY HOT COCKPIT WHERE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT ADEQUATE TO COOL COCKPIT TO REASONABLE TEMPS.
