I faintly recall an RTO accident / incident decades back where the report recommended full braking instead of gentle braking to the end of the runway which counterintuitively heated the brakes more because of rolling resistance.

Physics tells us that the energy from braking from a given speed will be the same, but rolling resistance adds to the total sum.

The next question is where you prefer to change the tires, hopefully on the same rims.
