You would also never take a aircraft with wheel and tire damage to a high density altitude airport to make a emergency landing unless you had no other option. You want the lowest groundspeed possible for the landing.

The Concorde ran over the superhard titanium strip, which shredded one of its tires, causing a blowout and sending debris flying into an engine and a fuel tank.

The gear would then extend back down. This would prevent a shredded tire from affecting gear status while retracted or prevent shredded tire fragments from coming in contact with a hot brake. You had to make sure this was intact on every walk around. Kind of an ingenious device. However, any current 737 pilot may have a better explanation than me.
Coming soon to a Bulletin near you !

Remember we got the models with cloth seats and AM radio! Seriously, though, I have been flying the 37 for over a year and I have never heard of that system? Is it on all the models?

Don't you sit and read systems manuals on your days off?

Only if they turn them into to a fizzy liquid, put it in a can and label it "beer" then I will "read" them all day!
