consider

We had three cases where the protector (tread) ripped from the tire on B378. With most cases it was just damage to the trailing edge flaps but could have been easily worse. The repairs were very financialy demaning... But consider that the tread around 160 kts is round 1000G's! and the kinetic energy is massive (like a golf ball at speed of sound). After V1 you have to consider the route, wx, etc... basically it comes down to pilot's airman ship.

Great vid, thanks for sharing.

I actually thought there are systems that doesnt allow the gear to be retracted if the tire is blown... any one?
