Airbus FCOM (A320 Series) Inclusive of REV 42
Gentlemen:
With regard to rejected takeoffs, Airbus has this to say:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOVE 100 KNOTS AND BELOW V1:
Rejecting the takeoff at these speeds is a more serious matter, particularly on slippery runways. It could lead to a hazardous situation, if the speed is approaching V1. At these speeds the captain should be "go- minded" and very few situations should lead to the decision to reject the takeoff:
1. Fire warning or severe damage.
2. Sudden loss of engine thrust.
3. Malfunctions or conditions that give unambiguous indications that the aircraft will not fly safely.
4. Any red ECAM warning.
5. Any amber ECAM caution listed below:
. F/CTL SIDESTICK FAULT
. ENG FAIL
. ENG REVERSER FAULT
. ENG REVERSE UNLOCKED
Exceeding the EGT red line or nose gear vibration should not result in the decision to reject the takeoff above 100 knots.
In case of tire failure bewteen V! minus 20 knots and V1:
Unless debris from the tires has caused serious engine anomalies, it is far better to get airborne, reduce the fuel load load, and land with the full runway available.
The V1 call has precedence over any other call.

Boeing may be different...it's been many years since I flew a Boeing, so I can't tell you what they say. But, this is the Airbus philosophy.
Fly safe,
