Purely as a matter of historical interest, I was on a command course and having a 2-engine landing being demonstrated to me by my leader sitting in the right seat.
We burst 16 mainwheel tyres (out of 20 wheels on the aeroplane) which turned out to be a major maintenance error.
The vibration on landing was quite interesting but not particularly violent.
From that day on, I never worried about losing tyres on take-off or landing.
We blocked the runway for over 5 hours.
