Narrative:

Departing runway 36R at dfw; after takeoff roll began and after 80 KTS; but before V1; a vibration was noticed; seemingly from main gear area. In an instant the vibration became severe and an abort was made at approximately 110-115 KTS (crew estimate). On rollout from abort; tower notified us we had lost both right main gear tires and were 'down to the rims.' supplemental information from acn 675397: on takeoff roll; runway 36R; around 110 KTS; loud rumbling noise and pronounced vibration was heard and felt; followed immediately by a second loud popping sound. Stopped aircraft on high speed taxiway clear of runway.
