Lunarair,
And in case of tire damage requiring inspection, who is authorized to do so? Engineer? Fireman? On what ground should the commander justify taxiing without further risk?
The engineer is certainly qualified and your best bet as he/she would have a headset to connect and communicate the wheel results.
The fireman can assess the damage if any but can not communicate with you directly but would probably do so via the tower.
From my experience, taxy off the runway and call for the engineer to make that assessment. It might be real and if could of course be an indication error. The engineer will be able to advise the captain very quickly...if any immediate maintenance is required.
