Not sure what is happening but yesterday an A330 had a tyre issue, and today it's a 777 - this summary from the NZ Herald website:

"Emergency services rushed to the runway at Auckland International
Airport today when a Thai Airways flight carrying 286 people blew a
tyre.

The 777 aircraft reported a problem about 11.20am but was able to land
safely by 11.40am, Northern Fire shift manager Jaron Phillips said.

Eight fire engines attended the scene, along with police and St John Ambulance."

I think its a Thai thing , my wife had a blow out on the motocy well she goes and gets it fixed , i say to her you should make sure there is air in the tyre and the right pressure.

She says she has it done at the garage and i go check , well we have 8 psi in the front the one that's just been done and 11 in the back. TIT.

Or could have been the fault of the mechanics in India who did a sloppy checkup before the plane took off?

That is inexcusable, should be at least 50 psi all round.
