Narrative:
Coming in to gri with an aircraft behind me, I was going to land long on runway 31 and get off at the end to minimize taxi time. When the aircraft touched down, the right main tire blew out. The aircraft would not slow down and I went off the end of the runway at which time the right main tire hit a lead-in light. In hindsight I would not try to make it easier on anyone but to do my best to keep the flow going. If it means that an aircraft has to go around, then it will. The aircraft was taxied to the run-up area for runway 13 and the tire was changed. The aircraft was then taxied to parking.

Narrative: COMING IN TO GRI WITH AN ACFT BEHIND ME, I WAS GOING TO LAND LONG ON RWY 31 AND GET OFF AT THE END TO MINIMIZE TAXI TIME. WHEN THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN, THE R MAIN TIRE BLEW OUT. THE ACFT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN AND I WENT OFF THE END OF THE RWY AT WHICH TIME THE R MAIN TIRE HIT A LEAD-IN LIGHT. IN HINDSIGHT I WOULD NOT TRY TO MAKE IT EASIER ON ANYONE BUT TO DO MY BEST TO KEEP THE FLOW GOING. IF IT MEANS THAT AN ACFT HAS TO GO AROUND, THEN IT WILL. THE ACFT WAS TAXIED TO THE RUN-UP AREA FOR RWY 13 AND THE TIRE WAS CHANGED. THE ACFT WAS THEN TAXIED TO PARKING.
