Aircraft
Rejected takeoff at approximately 110 kts after aircraft started shaking badly; [making a] loud noise and pulling to one side. Captain was Pilot Flying. First Officer called out blown tire as I was in the process of rejecting the takeoff. We remained on the runway with about 4;500 feet left. Rejected takeoff procedure followed; brake cooling on [weight and balance] completed; after aircraft was inspected and unable to be towed off runway. Passengers were deplaned by stairs into buses with assistance of fire department. Aircraft logbook was filled out and handed over to Maintenance. Cabin Crew and Passengers were given updates throughout the process and time it took to evaluate the aircraft and deplane them.
During takeoff at ZZZ; at 110 kts; the right main inboard tire failed; causing a loud bang and strong vibration. I called 'tire failure' and the Captain simultaneously decided to reject the takeoff. He executed the rejected takeoff procedure and worked to maintain centerline. I verified the correct procedure (it was correct) and notified Tower. We stopped on centerline with 4;000 feet remaining. Maintenance and Airfield Operations advised us that hydraulics were leaking and we couldn't taxi and an attempt to tow the aircraft failed due to a locked brake; the passengers were unloaded onto busses.
B737 flight crew reported a tire failure that resulted in a high speed rejected takeoff.
