Narrative:

At approximately 90-100 KIAS on takeoff we noticed a slight vibration that appeared to be coming from the nose wheel. Upon reaching approximately 120 KIAS the vibration stopped and the airplane appeared to be rolling out normally. Also; at approximately the same time we crossed over what appeared to be a resurfaced section of the runway. Flight continued as normal until reaching downwind at destination at 6000' MSL. Company called us on comm 2 advising of rubber left on the runway after our departure. We had earlier talked about the cause of the vibration and both thought it was due to the runway condition. At that point we figured we had blown a tire. Since the rest of the rollout was normal we expected the other wheel to be in an acceptable condition. We advised tower that we may have blown a tire on departure but we did not declare an emergency. They advised that they would be sending the trucks out anyway. They also vectored us for an approximate 15 mile final. The landing gear was lowered early on the approach to ensure all three were locked in position. A normal landing was performed while keeping the nose wheel off as long as possible and lowering it carefully. The airplane was taxied off of the runway and stopped on the taxiway. Passengers were advised to remain seated and the reason for the emergency vehicles. Busses were then sent out by the company to de-plane the passengers on the taxiway and the airplane was towed to the assigned gate and met by maintenance. Maintenance inspected and changed both nose tires. It should be noted that both nose tires were new and had been put on earlier that day as evidenced in the logbook.
