SF340 FLT CREW DETECTED AN ODOR AFTER TKOF THAT SMELLED OF BURNING RUBBER. THE FLT CREW BELIEVED THEY MAY HAVE BLOWN A TIRE; SO AN EMER WAS DECLARED FOR THE LNDG AT DEST ARPT.

Narrative

WINDS WERE CALM ON THE GND; AND WE DECIDED TO DEPART WITH THE CAPT ACTING AS PF. BECAUSE OF THE ENG TEMPS PRIOR TO STARTUP; AN 'ECS ON' TKOF WAS EXECUTED. A WAYS INTO THE TKOF ROLL; THE AIRPLANE YAWED A BIT TO THE R AS IF BEING AFFECTED BY STRONG WINDS WITHOUT THE PROPER CORRECTION (THOUGHT THE WINDS WERE CALM). THE CAPT QUICKLY GOT THE ACFT BACK ON CTRLINE; AND THE REST OF THE TKOF ROLL WAS UNEVENTFUL. IMMEDIATELY AFTER ROTATION; BOTH THE CAPT AND I BEGAN TO SMELL A STRONG ODOR THAT WE BOTH AGREED SMELLED LIKE BURNING RUBBER. THE COMBINATION OF THE UNEXPECTED YAW AND THE ODOR LED US TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE MIGHT HAVE POSSIBLY BLOWN A TIRE. WE DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE FLT TO ZZZ; AS WE FELT THERE WAS NO REASON TO RETURN BACK FOR A BLOWN TIRE. ONCE ENRTE; THE CAPT CONTACTED MAINT AND DISPATCH. WE THEN DECLARED AN EMER WITH CTR; SAYING THAT WE HAD A POSSIBLE BLOWN TIRE; AND REQUESTED THAT FIRE TRUCKS BE PRESENT WHEN WE LAND. ONCE WE WERE WITH APCH; THEY ASKED US IF WE COULD LAND ON RWY XXL; WE AGREED THAT WE COULD LAND RWY XXL AS THE WINDS WERE CALM ON THE GND AT ZZZ. WHILE STILL ENRTE; THE CAPT FIRST BRIEFED THE FLT ATTENDANT; AND THEN THE PAX. WE LANDED UNEVENTFULLY IN ZZZ; AND AFTER FIRE COMMAND ADVISED US THAT NO TIRES WERE BLOWN; WE PROCEEDED TO THE GATE. THE EMER LNDG OCCURRED BECAUSE THE CAPT AND I AGREED THAT WE HAD EVIDENCE OF A POSSIBLE BLOWN TIRE. THOUGH WE DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE IF A TIRE WAS BLOWN; WE DECIDED THAT AN EMER LNDG WITH FIRE TRUCKS STANDING BY WAS THE SAFEST AND MOST PRUDENT OPTION.
