Learjet 35 Captain reported an anti skid failure caused the failure of main landing gear tires on take off. The flight crew elected to divert and make a precautionary landing.
What is ASRS?
The Aviation Safety Reporting System is NASA's voluntary, confidential, non- punitive incident-reporting system, established 1976. Pilots, controllers, dispatchers, and maintenance technicians file reports describing safety- relevant events. NASA de-identifies every report before adding it to the public database. Reports are not investigated by NASA, the FAA, or the NTSB — they represent the reporter's perspective.

Departing ZZZ enroute to ZZZ1 on scheduled Part 135 Flight. During takeoff roll, The Crew noticed a bump, Left Anti-skid Lights Illuminated as V1 was called. The Crew continued rotation and continued flight while troubleshooting the issue. Once in cruise flight, ATC notified Flight Crew of report given by ZZZ Tower of Tire Remains on the runway. Once we determined that one or both main tires were popped, we ran the proper checklists and communicated with Crew and OPS on ground via Sat phone. The Flight Crew decided to divert to ZZZ2 for use of longer runways and abundant Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF). In an effort to land as safely and and lightly as possible we requested lower altitudes, free speed, and delayed vectors. This allowed us to touch down at a lower gross weight, reducing damage to to persons or property. The airplane landed safely on Runway XXR with ARFF Personnel standing by. An evacuation of all Crew and Passengers was executed. No injuries were sustained and damage to airplane appeared to be limited to left main gear.
