Narrative:

Takeoff roll commenced normally. It was 93 degrees and we were at 118;000 pounds. About the time I said '80 KTS;' we heard a loud bang. The airplane pulled a little to the right and also listed to the right. We heard a loud; continuous thumping as well. The captain decided to abort the takeoff. We accomplished the memory items and came to a stop on the centerline of the runway with approximately 10;000 ft remaining in front of us. We called the tower; the passengers; the flight attendants; operations; fire chief; dispatch and the chief pilots and kept them informed as to what happened. The fire department said we blew both right main tires and had a hydraulic leak. He also said there was no fire and no potential for fire. We completed all applicable checklists. The airport then sent out buses for our passengers and crew. There were no injuries and the passengers seemed to be in very good spirits. We don't really know why the tires blew. Maybe better tires or change the tires more often. I'm not really sure.
