We had an unscheduled swap into a [B737] with antiskid Inop MEL. It was the First Officer's leg and we discussed the MEL issues and how they impacted our operations. After a soft touchdown I called out 'extended' out of habit then corrected myself and said 'not extended' (the auto speed brake system was part of the MEL) then manually extended the speedbrake. I then noticed that the thrust reversers were not deployed and stated 'no reversers'. By the time the First Officer recognized the no reverse condition we had slowed to around 80 knots and the reversers were never used. After landing the Tower informed us it appeared that we had a blown tire. We cleared the runway and stopped for a Ground Crew to verify that we did. The Ground Crew informed us that both main outboard tires had blown. We then had Maintenance come out with a tug and tow us to the gate after determining that it was safe to tow.Given time to reflect I feel I; as the Captain; should have flown that leg given that I had received the MEL Briefing from the Chief Pilot on Call. My after landing callouts were delayed and not as crisp as they should have been which caused a delay in the no reverse call.
The antiskid was Inop on the aircraft. We used flap 40 and had a soft landing. The speedbrake was difficult for the Captain to deploy. I applied easy braking and inadvertently forgot to use the thrust reversers. With the distractions; we both didn't realize I hadn't used the reverses until the aircraft had slowed to about 60 knots. Again; the landing was soft and easy braking. After landing the Tower asked if we'd like assistance because another aircraft thought we'd blown a tire on landing. The Captain and I where both confused and thought he must not mean us because we didn't feel a thing and all seemed normal. After we taxied off the runway the Tower said that it looked like; from another aircraft; we'd blown both tires on landing. Then Captain decided to stop on the taxiway and make sure everything was ok. Unfortunately both outside mains had blown on landing. After a Maintenance inspection of the aircraft on the taxiway; we were towed into the gate.
B737 flight crew reported two tire failures on landing roll when spoilers and reversers were not deployed in a timely manner.
