Narrative:

During preflight; the first officer noted #3 medium large transport tire looked worn. Maintenance was called out and the tire inspected. The mechanic stated the tire was within limits and 'you are good to go.' the first officer's takeoff was normal until approximately 100 knots when the airplane began vibrating then violently shaking. I initiated the rejected takeoff at approximately 110 knots and assumed aircraft control from the first officer. I deemed the airplane unsafe to fly and the reject the safest course of action. I stopped the airplane straight ahead on the runway centerline and the first officer told tower we needed arff. The fire chief inspected the airplane and confirmed both #3 and #4 tires were blown. There was not any smoke or fire; and no need for an evacuation. All passengers and crew deplaned via air stairs and were bussed to the terminal. There were no injuries to any passengers. The #2 flight attendant later complained of a sore wrist.

Title: B737-800 flight crew reported they rejected their takeoff at approximately 110 KTS when they realized they had a tire failure.

Narrative: During preflight; the First Officer noted #3 MLG tire looked worn. Maintenance was called out and the tire inspected. The mechanic stated the tire was within limits and 'you are good to go.' The First Officer's takeoff was normal until approximately 100 knots when the airplane began vibrating then violently shaking. I initiated the rejected takeoff at approximately 110 knots and assumed aircraft control from the First Officer. I deemed the airplane unsafe to fly and the reject the safest course of action.
