Narrative:
We were cleared to take off on runway 27. Wind was reported by tower at 220/51 gust 61. On reaching 110 KIAS, the captain was unable to keep aircraft on centerline with full deflection of aileron, rudder and elevator and rejected takeoff. A safe rejection was made but 8 tires were blown and/or deflated. We were later informed by a company aircraft departing ahead of us that the captain had informed both the tower and company operations to warn us not to takeoff. Neither message was relayed to us. Additionally, neither the FAA nor the company has specified crosswind limits for our type of aircraft.

Title: LOSS OF ACFT CONTROL AND TKOF ABORT WHEN PIC PF UNABLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTION CONTROL WHILE MAKING A TKOF IN A STRONG CROSSWIND.
Narrative: WE WERE CLRED TO TAKE OFF ON RWY 27. WIND WAS RPTED BY TWR AT 220/51 GUST 61. ON REACHING 110 KIAS, THE CAPT WAS UNABLE TO KEEP ACFT ON CENTERLINE WITH FULL DEFLECTION OF AILERON, RUDDER AND ELEVATOR AND REJECTED TKOF. A SAFE REJECTION WAS MADE BUT 8 TIRES WERE BLOWN AND/OR DEFLATED. WE WERE LATER INFORMED BY A COMPANY ACFT DEPARTING AHEAD OF US THAT THE CAPT HAD INFORMED BOTH THE TWR AND COMPANY OPS TO WARN US NOT TO TKOF. NEITHER MESSAGE WAS RELAYED TO US. ADDITIONALLY, NEITHER THE FAA NOR THE COMPANY HAS SPECIFIED XWIND LIMITS FOR OUR TYPE OF ACFT.
