Narrative:
First officer landing (and a very smooth one) just after touchdown noticed unusual deceleration, checked anti-skid and park brake as ride became very bumpy due to 4 blown tires. Managed to exit runway 33 and off load passenger, and then moved aircraft (limping under its own power) to a ramp area where tires could be changed. Found gear doors to be damaged, and had to ferry aircraft to maintenance base. Park brake handle was 'sticky' and hard to set, but seemed to release easily and its light was inoperative. We tested it (brake) and found that it worked properly for flight. Possibly it stuck on after inadvertent movement in-flight and no light gave no warning. Cause could've also been the anti-skid system although no warning or previous malfunctions were noted. Just shows how 2 little problems can possibly lead to a much bigger and perhaps disastrous problem. In the future I'll not be so eager to go until such small problems are corrected.

Title: LTT HAS TIRES BLOWN ON LNDG ROLL OUT.
Narrative: FO LNDG (AND A VERY SMOOTH ONE) JUST AFTER TOUCHDOWN NOTICED UNUSUAL DECELERATION, CHKED ANTI-SKID AND PARK BRAKE AS RIDE BECAME VERY BUMPY DUE TO 4 BLOWN TIRES. MANAGED TO EXIT RWY 33 AND OFF LOAD PAX, AND THEN MOVED ACFT (LIMPING UNDER ITS OWN PWR) TO A RAMP AREA WHERE TIRES COULD BE CHANGED. FOUND GEAR DOORS TO BE DAMAGED, AND HAD TO FERRY ACFT TO MAINT BASE. PARK BRAKE HANDLE WAS 'STICKY' AND HARD TO SET, BUT SEEMED TO RELEASE EASILY AND ITS LIGHT WAS INOP. WE TESTED IT (BRAKE) AND FOUND THAT IT WORKED PROPERLY FOR FLT. POSSIBLY IT STUCK ON AFTER INADVERTENT MOVEMENT INFLT AND NO LIGHT GAVE NO WARNING. CAUSE COULD'VE ALSO BEEN THE ANTI-SKID SYS ALTHOUGH NO WARNING OR PREVIOUS MALFUNCTIONS WERE NOTED. JUST SHOWS HOW 2 LITTLE PROBS CAN POSSIBLY LEAD TO A MUCH BIGGER AND PERHAPS DISASTROUS PROB. IN THE FUTURE I'LL NOT BE SO EAGER TO GO UNTIL SUCH SMALL PROBS ARE CORRECTED.
