Narrative:

After landing; during braking; my left main tire suffered a blowout. Fortunately; I had already slowed considerably; so I continued to brake; but due to the flat left tire; the aircraft veered to the left and stopped with the left tire about 1 ft off the runway; in the grass. I contacted the tower and they closed the (only) runway at the airport. I shut down the aircraft engine; and waited for the airport operations truck to come help me out. When they came; they put the aircraft's left gear up on a dolly and towed it off the runway to a local FBO for repairs. The runway was closed for approximately 20 mins because of this.
