Question MK Airlines new SOP to minimize tyre bursts?
This is probably in the wrong forum but here go's

Two weeks ago MK ailines 747 took off on a cool Sunday Morning (10'c) from JNB.
He held his gear down for about 10 minutes untill cleared for his climb enroute to altitude after his turn and vectors .Heard whilst listening on the radios.
After their last spate of tyre bursts etc would this be the new SOP to minimize this "tyre burst risk" and cool the whole landing gear before retraction?

Any one know?
