your search had no success as you used the US (read - Microsoft global standard english - at this point) spelling "tires". This is an A340 operated in a city that the opium-dealing British once called "Occupied Territory"(open for general trading in drugs etc), locally the spelling is "tyre".
Thanks for this most enlightening explanation.

The pictures are indeed scary although clearly the tyres did not "explode" as per early reports.
