Narrative:

Upon making a successful landing at pdk, I noticed a slight vibration when the PF applied the brakes. As we slowed down in speed the vibration became more noticeable. We suspected a flat tire, so as we exited the runway on taxiway J, we pulled over into a run-up area. Exiting the airplane, we walked around to the right side and noticed the r-hand main landing gear was sitting on the rim. The tire had separated from the rim. We contacted maintenance, which would arrive later in the evening to repair the wheel. Having no further options, and talking with the local control, the aircraft remained in the run-up area, until maintenance could be performed later that evening and the aircraft towed to a local FBO. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the captain said that the vibration started very soon after the touchdown, but the touchdown itself was very smooth. The airport personnel did a runway sweep and other than parts of the tire carcass, no other debris were found that could have caused the tire to deflate. The crew decided to leave the aircraft parked in the run-up area after discovering the missing tire. Airport personnel wanted them to taxi the aircraft, as is, to the ramp. The crew emphasized that this may damage the aircraft. Later an FAA inspector asked the crew why they refused to comply with the airport management's request to move and they stated that they were concerned about damaging the aircraft. The maintenance personnel arrived that evening and other than tire replacement no other repairs were necessary.

Title: THE CAPT OF A CPR CESSNA C560XL RPTS THAT THE R MAIN GEAR TIRE BLEW DURING THE ROLLOUT AND SEPARATED FROM THE RIM. THERE WAS NO FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE ACFT, OR INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS.

Narrative: UPON MAKING A SUCCESSFUL LNDG AT PDK, I NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN THE PF APPLIED THE BRAKES. AS WE SLOWED DOWN IN SPD THE VIBRATION BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE. WE SUSPECTED A FLAT TIRE, SO AS WE EXITED THE RWY ON TXWY J, WE PULLED OVER INTO A RUN-UP AREA. EXITING THE AIRPLANE, WE WALKED AROUND TO THE R SIDE AND NOTICED THE R-HAND MAIN LNDG GEAR WAS SITTING ON THE RIM. THE TIRE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE RIM. WE CONTACTED MAINT, WHICH WOULD ARRIVE LATER IN THE EVENING TO REPAIR THE WHEEL. HAVING NO FURTHER OPTIONS, AND TALKING WITH THE LCL CTL, THE ACFT REMAINED IN THE RUN-UP AREA, UNTIL MAINT COULD BE PERFORMED LATER THAT EVENING AND THE ACFT TOWED TO A LCL FBO. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE CAPT SAID THAT THE VIBRATION STARTED VERY SOON AFTER THE TOUCHDOWN, BUT THE TOUCHDOWN ITSELF WAS VERY SMOOTH. THE ARPT PERSONNEL DID A RWY SWEEP AND OTHER THAN PARTS OF THE TIRE CARCASS, NO OTHER DEBRIS WERE FOUND THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE TIRE TO DEFLATE. THE CREW DECIDED TO LEAVE THE ACFT PARKED IN THE RUN-UP AREA AFTER DISCOVERING THE MISSING TIRE. ARPT PERSONNEL WANTED THEM TO TAXI THE ACFT, AS IS, TO THE RAMP. THE CREW EMPHASIZED THAT THIS MAY DAMAGE THE ACFT. LATER AN FAA INSPECTOR ASKED THE CREW WHY THEY REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH THE ARPT MGMNT'S REQUEST TO MOVE AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT DAMAGING THE ACFT. THE MAINT PERSONNEL ARRIVED THAT EVENING AND OTHER THAN TIRE REPLACEMENT NO OTHER REPAIRS WERE NECESSARY.
