Narrative:
On takeoff roll received an ECAM fault flex temperature not entered. Pushed power up to toga. At approx 80 KIAS first officer stated no V speeds indicating. I thought that we had no performance in the FMC and rejected the takeoff. After exiting the runway I called dispatch and maintenance because the brake temps were high and was told to bring aircraft back to the gate for inspection. Brake temps on #1 and 2 brakes were in excess of 900C. Brake temps on 3 and 4 brakes were in excess of 600C. While returning to the gate I noticed the aircraft was not taxiing correctly and we stopped and asked maintenance to come out and check the tires. They did and discovered the tires were deflated and we were towed to the gate.
