I had this exact scenario play out for me on a Gulfstream GII about 4 years back;

Landed at Burbank, Ca on a dry runway applied what felt like moderate braking below 90 kts only to feel the A/C lurch to the left and noticed the Anti-Skid fail light come on as we came to a stop. Taxied in to the ramp without noticing anything else unusual until we noticed maintenance running out to our left wing as we shut down. Turned out the inboard Left main tire looked like someone had taken a machette to it and had neatly chopped off about 1/5th of the tire exposing a gaping 10 x 6 inch hole! The outboard tire on the same wheelset was unaffected. The cause turned out to be cross connected hydraulic lines to the wheels during maintenance which had occured about 2 months prior.
