Narrative:
During the cruise phase of flight brakes system 1 fault message appeared on ECAM. With ECAM and QRH completed and brakes system 2 picking up for failed brakes system 1 flight continued to destination. When landing gear was selected down with autobrake selected to low; ECAM autobrake fault was triggered along with previous brakes system 1 fault. ECAM was completed and landing was made with brakes system 2. Just after touchdown aircraft pulled to left slightly with light vibration. Aircraft was slowed with right brake and reverse thrust and taxied clear of runway. The tower advised us that he thought we had blown a tire and asked if we needed assistance. Brake temps where checked and within limits (max temp 235c on left outboard brake) and we declined assistance and aircraft was taxied to gate (at 3 knots max tire blown speed limit). Post flight inspection found left outboard tire blown.

When landing gear was selected down with autobrake selected to low; ECAM AUTOBRAKE FAULT was triggered along with previous BRAKES SYS 1 FAULT.
