NW had a tire pop on a Classic freighter leaving ANC in the late 90s. A bit before V1. Many times a tire will take other tires on the same truck with it. So the crew was faced with loud noises as the tires were hitting the fuselage. They rejected about V1 plus 10. Ended up using 11,000 feet of 10,700 runway.
