Narrative:

Aircraft X roll out runway 11; still at speed prompted to make early turn-off on taxiway golf; less than 6000 feet down the runway. Aircraft Y holding in position runway 11; aircraft Z; IFR flight plan; final approach; ILS at or inside MM. Aircraft X is asked by local control if able turn at golf; pilot advised this is difficult as runway is wet. Aircraft Y holding in position is issued a take of clearance; aircraft Z is observed inside 2 miles and not instructed at this point to execute a missed approach; aircraft Y starts departure roll; aircraft X blows tire in attempt to make taxi-way and veers hard left a full 90 degrees; facing north now and remains on runway; local control is prompted to cancel take-off clearance for aircraft Y who aborts departure after several feet; aircraft X continues left motion and comes to a complete stop facing south. Aircraft Z is at one mile and instructed to execute missed approach procedure. Other facts: aircraft Y had edct (estimated departure clearance time) running late up to runway; aircraft X frequently known to need full length of runway by type. Supervisor working ground control not able to maintain good situational awareness; supervisor has low hours on control positions; just at or above currency. Supervisor prompted local controller to use tiph (taxi in position and hold) when traffic was tapering off. Supervisor and local controller desire to meet edct time without need to re-coordinate with center. Supervisor failure to properly time relief of atcs's to not coincide with potential problems. Local control should not have issued a departure clearance to the following departing aircraft until the preceding arriving aircraft had exited the runway. Thoughts: local control missed several cues from aircraft X and Z that could have prevented the entire sequence of events. Local control should have sent aircraft Z around at 2 miles or taxied aircraft Y off the runway and allowed aircraft X to complete its entire landing roll.
