Narrative:
After normal landing; we turned off on taxiway T. During taxi; we felt a bump. We cleared runway 27R and stopped aircraft on taxiway T. We advised ground we suspected blown tires and received clearance to stay on taxiway T clear of runway 27R. After replacing tires; mechanics said the wheel speed transducer had unscrewed from the axle.
