Bringing it straight back may be ok In terms of performance and distance etc but tyre speed limits may be a factor at very high weights and certain ambient conditions and light winds.

Can’t speak for 767 but on 738 it’s 200mph and that can be achieved on touchdown at certain high weights and the right ambient conditions.

Losing more tyres on landing due to exceeding tyre speed limits may have been a consideration.

ps especially if planning less than normal flap settings for landing after tyre damage to engine or flaps etc
