Narrative:

We had an auto brakes fault upon landing but auto brakes were not selected. After a normal approach and very smooth touchdown by my first officer; I thought he got on the brakes very quickly. I was about to say something when we got an ECAM brakes automatic brk fault; shortly followed by another ECAM brakes system 2 fault; the rest of the rollout was normal; albeit with some vibration that disappeared as we slowed down. I took control of the aircraft; further slowed and felt that braking and turning seemed normal so I carefully made the second high speed turn-off and proceeded slowly to the ramp. While taxiing; I continued to evaluate the brakes and steering; steering was completely normal and the brakes seemed spongy; but had no problem slowing and stopping the aircraft. Brake temperatures were normal. Because of the ECAM's and sponginess; I had my first officer request a tow-in to the gate. (As we entered the ramp; I noticed that the brake temps on two and four were increasing normally; but one and three were cold.) the tug driver advised we had two blown tires; number one and three mains. Maintenance met us and I advised the mechanic of the sequence of events. The maintenance post flight report showed the ECAM's and a series of system failures; apparently it was the number one wheel tachometer that failed as that was replaced overnight (along with the tires) and the airplane was returned to service.
