It's weird that this report focuses on reporting the tyres rather than the reason for the rejected take off. It even goes on to discuss other unrelated aviation tyre events for no particularly apparent reason.

It's like saying that the coffee cup spilled coffee when it was dropped onto the ground .. duh.

And as a surprise to nobody, except perhaps the "author" of the original article the aborted takeoff had nothing to do with tyres.

"The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) says a gauge indicated the temperature of exhaust gases in the plane's right engine was too high."

"The ATSB said the rejected take-off was conducted in line with standard operating procedures."
