LEM,
Another consideration is a new brake assembly.
Brakes are assembled by hand and try as they may, some amount of grease and foreign material gets into the rotor/pad assembly. Plus, the nature of the brake material is that it smokes somewhat during the initial heating cycles after installation. My airline used to post notes in the logbook to alert pilots that they might get calls from tower or other aircraft for smoky brakes. For some unknown reason this practice has been discontinued. The only clue now is long wear indicators on the brake assembly indicating fresh brakes.
Given the certification requirements of 15 minutes with tires ablaze unaided by rescue, I would be predisposed to keep everyone on board and out of harms way. Hate to have anyone killed by a speeding rescue vehicle or injured going down a slide.
