What was the flight's intended destination?
To answer my own question, I see it was IAH according to the tweet posted above.

Spoke to my son who is a dispatcher (not UA) they are down to one run way, so long waits for today.
Going to IAH would have had a decent amount of gas which might explain the tires. Interestingly the initial ATC chatter
he heard was that is had an on board fire
