Narrative:
I went in range about 2 miles left base for runway xx and put the gear down with landing checks shortly thereafter; with flaps and props to go. Over the threshold I was still fast. I reached over to make sure the flaps were fully down. This extended the flaps and I landed hard. The right main blew while braking but I was able to stop on the runway. Suggest fewer legs and shorter days to lower fatigue; particularly on IFR single-pilot days. It would be beneficial to include go around training for no flap situations in VFR; there could be a flap failure or late flap extension that wasn't noticed early enough as in this situation. Going around would have certainly been a better solution than the outcome here.

Title: Cessna 402C pilot reported the right main tire failed after a hard landing. Fatigue was cited as contributing.
