Narrative:

The takeoff appeared to be a normal takeoff with no excessive vibration or control problem. After 80 KT the captain released nosewheel steering with no control problems, at approximately 100 KT the aircraft vibrated badly and listed to the right side. The captain aborted the takeoff using standard company procedures. The aircraft was kept on the centerline while braking to a full stop. In order to clear the active runway the captain made the 1ST available right turn off the runway. We called for assistance and shut down the aircraft. We later found out we had lost both main gear tires on the right side. Also lost part of the gear door on right. It may be interesting to note the one tire may have delaminated on the taxi out with no apparent knowledge of the crew members. If that was the case we had no control problems with just one tire on the right.

Title: ACR MLG TAKEOFF ABORTED AT LAS WHEN BOTH RIGHT MAIN GEAR TIRES LOST AIR PRESSURE.

Narrative: THE TKOF APPEARED TO BE A NORMAL TKOF WITH NO EXCESSIVE VIBRATION OR CTL PROB. AFTER 80 KT THE CAPT RELEASED NOSEWHEEL STEERING WITH NO CTL PROBS, AT APPROX 100 KT THE ACFT VIBRATED BADLY AND LISTED TO THE R SIDE. THE CAPT ABORTED THE TKOF USING STANDARD COMPANY PROCS. THE ACFT WAS KEPT ON THE CENTERLINE WHILE BRAKING TO A FULL STOP. IN ORDER TO CLR THE ACTIVE RWY THE CAPT MADE THE 1ST AVAILABLE R TURN OFF THE RWY. WE CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE AND SHUT DOWN THE ACFT. WE LATER FOUND OUT WE HAD LOST BOTH MAIN GEAR TIRES ON THE R SIDE. ALSO LOST PART OF THE GEAR DOOR ON R. IT MAY BE INTERESTING TO NOTE THE ONE TIRE MAY HAVE DELAMINATED ON THE TAXI OUT WITH NO APPARENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE CREW MEMBERS. IF THAT WAS THE CASE WE HAD NO CONTROL PROBS WITH JUST ONE TIRE ON THE R.
