Aviation SafetyThe monthly journal of risk management and accident prevention, is packed with useful, timely information on basic and advanced technique, accident analysis, and practical articles on how to develop good judgment in the air.

Two reasons I can think of:
1. Due to the excessive braking required to stop on a short runway the thermal plugs on the wheels will melt and in a sense burst the tires. In large airplanes, the thermal energy potential is so great that the wheels are manufactured with thermal relief plugs that melt in an over temperature occurrence to deflate the tire, preventing the tire from bursting due to over pressurization.
2. If the emergency declared due to a hydraulic system failure the aircraft normal braking would be limited or non-existent forcing the pilots to use the emergency brake to stop the aircraft. Where the normal brakes have safety features like anti-skid protection and auto-brake in a hydraulic failure those systems don’t work. The emergency brake can’t be modulated so either it’s selected completely on or off. When selected on the tires aren’t rotating but are sliding across the surface of the runway which will eventually burst the tire. The emergency brake would only be used towards the end of the landing rollout after using the reverse thrusters.
