[quote][Abort at 133KTs normally wouldn't be a cause for six tires and 2 brake assemblies to be trashed/QUOTE]
Your quite correct, it would usualy all 8 tyres!

I believe it was the 4 mains and 2 nose that came apart.

The problem in all this is the Privilege aircraft was ex Air Transat so it's pretty well maintained.

If you look at people like Air Rum ex Orient Thai everything has been deferred such as the engine AD's.

Pretty much all the Time Control items on their aircraft are way out of date.

For example: RAT triggers never replaced. O2 Generators, Fuel pumps and on & on

S/B's are not done, example RAT unit

The Saudis really need to look deeper & hopefully they soon will.
