Agreed. I would leave the gear down, performance permitting, as you just don't know what damage has been done or how hot the tyre (what is remaining) or wheel is.

May strongly suggest you have a read of the accident report of the National DC 8 the crashed at Jeddah, 1991. It makes very unpleasant reading but a must to inform how rubber ware can and did bring down a fully loaded a/c with passengers. They all perished.
