wiedehopf, unless stated as a limitation of the aircraft certification, you can discount the likelyhood of tyre bursting; e.g. no restriction on max manual brake.
Abnormal landings may have to account for max tyre speed and/or max brake energy, but again if limiting, should be stated in the documents.

rbnsncrs, you should be able to compare the untabulated data by working out the distances from the AFM charts. However, for abnormal conditions or system failure, any restrictions may be given in the AFM or FCOM procedures.
Check the abnormality against the availability of reverse, spoilers, etc, they all affect braking distance.

Safety rule of thumb; never take an assumption into the air. If in doubt check with the manufacturer.
Brake for safety, not for comfort; and not as a guess for system operation or the landing distance required / available.
