Narrative:

Departing las runway 25L with a planned V1 of 170 KTS, first officer's leg and after power was set for takeoff, I assumed control of throttles and guarded yoke. At approximately 155 KTS, heard loud explosion, aircraft pulled to left, and I immediately aborted the takeoff, coming to a stop at the 3000 ft remaining marker (14500 ft runway length). After explosion, aircraft tilted or listed about 10-15 degrees to left indicating to me both left truck tires had blown. Followed rejected takeoff checklist, shut down both engines and determined emergency evacuate/evacuation was not necessary. Deplaned passenger through aft airstairs after crash/rescue crew determined no problem with doing so. Supplemental information from acn 365171: contributing factor: possibly takeoff speed too close to maximum tire speed.
