Narrative:
This airport is over 7800 feet above sea level but it was a normal approach and landing. I landed on the 1000 ft marker. The brakes were good at mid-field but closer to the end the brakes faded. I went off the end of the runway by about 50 ft into the dirt. Turned around and taxied to park. After parking all four tires blew within about 10 minutes of each other. The plane was landed below maximum landing weight (16600 pounds) but was unable to stop. The plane has no thrust reverser's. I was later informed that one pilot had told the owner about the brakes by word of mouth; but I did not find out about that until a day later. Only crew was on board.
