Narrative:
While on approach at mem, I (aircraft X) had received clearance for a visual approach to runway 36R. I had been asked to keep my speed up as much as practical. When on final, I was instructed to make the first available left taxiway. I was unusually fast on final and my rollout went beyond the first couple of txwys. I was on the runway longer than the tower planned, causing an aircraft in trail (aircraft Y) to execute a go around. Additionally, the tires on my aircraft were in poor condition. As a result, I was reluctant to go heavy on the brakes for fear of a flat spot or blowout. The previous week a pilot had blown a tire from getting on the brakes too hard. All of the pilots received a memo in their message box about flat-spotting tires. I may have been overly cautious and not aggressive enough on this particular event.

Title: SMT ATX PLT LANDS FAST, AND DUE TO COMPANY POLICY, DOES NOT APPLY HARD BRAKING TO EXIT THE RWY, CAUSING FOLLOWING TFC ON FINAL TO EXECUTE A GAR.
Narrative: WHILE ON APCH AT MEM, I (ACFT X) HAD RECEIVED CLRNC FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 36R. I HAD BEEN ASKED TO KEEP MY SPD UP AS MUCH AS PRACTICAL. WHEN ON FINAL, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO MAKE THE FIRST AVAILABLE L TXWY. I WAS UNUSUALLY FAST ON FINAL AND MY ROLLOUT WENT BEYOND THE FIRST COUPLE OF TXWYS. I WAS ON THE RWY LONGER THAN THE TWR PLANNED, CAUSING AN ACFT IN TRAIL (ACFT Y) TO EXECUTE A GAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE TIRES ON MY ACFT WERE IN POOR CONDITION. AS A RESULT, I WAS RELUCTANT TO GO HVY ON THE BRAKES FOR FEAR OF A FLAT SPOT OR BLOWOUT. THE PREVIOUS WK A PLT HAD BLOWN A TIRE FROM GETTING ON THE BRAKES TOO HARD. ALL OF THE PLTS RECEIVED A MEMO IN THEIR MESSAGE BOX ABOUT FLAT-SPOTTING TIRES. I MAY HAVE BEEN OVERLY CAUTIOUS AND NOT AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH ON THIS PARTICULAR EVENT.
