Narrative:

I was landing on runway 16 and touched down with flaps up at about 65 mph, landed on 2 wheels, but lowered to nose of the aircraft too soon. As the nose wheel touched the ground, it blew the tire and I could not bring the nose back up. The airplane stopped on the runway. I had not checked the tire before takeoff, also I lowered the nose too soon, without slowing the airplane sufficiently down. I was also landing a little sideways.
