Aircraft
During takeoff; I called airspeed alive; APR armed; and time started. Through about 50 knots; Captain started struggling with directional control and called for an abort. I moved the flaps to 45 degrees and deployed the lift dump. Captain called for reverse thrust as he was struggling with the tiller and I deployed them. Captain continued to struggle with directional control while the aircraft slowed. We exited runway and stopped on taxiway. We verified the passengers were ok and did not require assistance. We shut down Engine 1 and Captain exited the aircraft to inspect for damage. Upon inspection; he discovered the right nose wheel tire had come off its bead. Engine 2 was subsequently shut down and airport operations took the passengers inside the FBO. Maintenance advised the crew not to taxi the aircraft; so it was left on the taxiway. Airport ops cordoned the aircraft.
On takeoff roll; we had a loss of control of the aircraft. The takeoff roll was normal. All normal callouts were made. The copilot called airspeed alive and I; the pilot flying; felt a slight vibration in the tiller. At about 60 knots I felt a hard pull to the right and called for the abort. There was ample runway available so aerodynamic braking with lift dump and thrust reverse only was used to slow the aircraft. As the aircraft slowed I exited the runway and brought it to a complete stop and called company. Maintenance advised us to have the aircraft towed. The aircraft was secured and flagged off by airport personnel and left on the taxiway.
