Narrative:

On arrival, aircraft had maintenance write-up of left leading edge light overheat. After 2 hour maintenance delay to fix, aircraft was taxied out and run-up by mechanics, came back and signed off. Mechanic noted there was indication of heat sensor type duct damage. Tightened ducting and operations check ok, signed off. Aircraft ready for normal operations. Taxi out normal, takeoff power set at about 110 KTS, noticed left wing overheat light on steady illumination. Notified captain, who subsequently aborted takeoff at that time. Indicated 110-120 KTS full runway rollout. Called tower to verify no fire. Fire trucks came out to inspect. No fire indications. Instructed to proceed back to gate, aircraft would not move, shut down on taxiway. Mins later, but were notified 'fire-smoke on left outboard mains.' later notified 7 tires flat. Operations, dispatch, maintenance, crew, all kept in loop. No one was injured or stressed.
