Oh man, I feel your pain...

I had a similar experience with not nearly as good an excuse. I made a normal landing at my home airport, 6000' runway. I touched down and applied braking normally, and just as I did, a gust of wind picked up one wing a bit. I heard the dreaded "screech". The tire was BRAND NEW, like 10 hours on it. Flat spotted it nearly to the cord. Had to buy another one. And the low profile tires the go on the P337 are NOT cheap, and can't be recapped. (Actually they CAN, but it doesn't save much and they don't have a stock to exchange from, so you gotta be down for 2 weeks to do a recap.) Sigh...

Sorry bud. Wet grass is good for avoiding this problem as well, as long as you don't actually need to stop any time soon...

Kevin
