Narrative:

Enroute we received a low hydraulic 1 EICAS message. I monitored the system and decided to do a fluid transfer by utilizing brakes and parking brake as I had been requested to do by maintenance on other occasions. Upon landing all 4 tires blew; indicating possible non-release of emergency parking brake.
