Narrative:

Right nose tire failed on takeoff roll from dfw runway 18L. We had extreme vibrations at V1 speed and after rotation. Continued takeoff, did not retract landing gear. We burned off fuel and came back to dfw for landing on runway 17C. Maintenance changed the tire and pinned the landing gear. We then taxied to the gate. Supplemental information from acn 552859: on climb out I smelled rubber burning. Within 10 mins the captain called and said he thought we may have blown a tire on takeoff and the gear would remain down. The captain decided to 'burn fuel' (which takes approximately 2 hours) and return to dfw. In that 2 hours flight attendant #1,4 and myself prepared for emergency landing.
