Narrative:
My takeoff conditions were low 80's; 15600 takeoff weight and elevation of 3600 ft. Started the plane and taxied to runway 22; doing all the SOP's. Taxied into position and started takeoff roll. The aircraft accelerated normal; no abnormal signs were detected. Going through 100 KT I felt the right tires blow and immediately aborted the takeoff prior to V1 (117). I had control of the aircraft as it slowed down; then when I went through around 45 KTS the left tires blew and the aircraft started veering toward the left side of the runway into the grass field. I could no longer maintain directional control of the aircraft and as I approached the edge of the runway going into the grass; I shut down the engines; stopped the plane and did the emergency evacuate/evacuation procedure. The passenger was not hurt at all and was in good spirit and everybody was ok. I believe the cause of the problem was most likely due to a set of bad tires. They were just changed 2 weeks prior to the incident. Also it could have been due to FOD on the runway.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: LEAR PLT HAS R MAIN GEAR TIRES FAIL; ABORTS TKOF AND L TIRES FAIL CAUSING A RWY EXCURSION AT AMA.
Narrative: MY TKOF CONDITIONS WERE LOW 80'S; 15600 TKOF WT AND ELEVATION OF 3600 FT. STARTED THE PLANE AND TAXIED TO RWY 22; DOING ALL THE SOP'S. TAXIED INTO POS AND STARTED TKOF ROLL. THE ACFT ACCELERATED NORMAL; NO ABNORMAL SIGNS WERE DETECTED. GOING THROUGH 100 KT I FELT THE R TIRES BLOW AND IMMEDIATELY ABORTED THE TKOF PRIOR TO V1 (117). I HAD CTL OF THE ACFT AS IT SLOWED DOWN; THEN WHEN I WENT THROUGH AROUND 45 KTS THE L TIRES BLEW AND THE ACFT STARTED VEERING TOWARD THE L SIDE OF THE RWY INTO THE GRASS FIELD. I COULD NO LONGER MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CTL OF THE ACFT AND AS I APCHED THE EDGE OF THE RWY GOING INTO THE GRASS; I SHUT DOWN THE ENGS; STOPPED THE PLANE AND DID THE EMER EVAC PROC. THE PAX WAS NOT HURT AT ALL AND WAS IN GOOD SPIRIT AND EVERYBODY WAS OK. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THE PROB WAS MOST LIKELY DUE TO A SET OF BAD TIRES. THEY WERE JUST CHANGED 2 WKS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. ALSO IT COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO FOD ON THE RWY.
