Narrative:

Captain's leg. Takeoff on runway 34, denver, at 1200 KTS I called airspeed 'hang up.' again at 120 KTS I called 'hang up.' at 140 KTS I called hang up twice. We then aborted the takeoff. Wind 360 degrees at 25 KTS, lots of dust. We talked about windshear at the gate. We lost the 2 right main tires. (Thermal plugs). No other damage to aircraft. No passenger or crew were hurt.
