To help you, here's an excerpt from the before departure briefing I give:

"...we'll abort for any red annunciator up to 80 knots; up to V1: Fire, Engine Failure, or loss of directional control; V1 we'll take it in the air and treat it as an inflight emergency..."

That could change slightly between airframes, but to give you a general idea, V1 is the key speed. I would say blow a tire up to V1, abort. V1 or after, take it in the air.
