IIRC, most modern aircraft have an inhibit after 80 knots for everything except engine fire or failure, and the SOP is between then and V1 the stop would only be for those warnings or something that would suggest the aircraft would be unable to fly. Unless the undercarriage was shaking itself to bits, a simple tyre failure would be taken into the air. As has been said, touching down at the correct point, much slower (lighter) and better prepared is better than trying to stop from some point further down the runway, faster and heavier. But, we don't know the whole story in this case, so that's just a two cent's worth.
