Narrative:

On landing rollout, tower advised that it appeared we had blown a main tire. After clearing the runway, stopped aircraft. Called maintenance to come inspect tires and advise if we could taxi or if needed to be towed to the gate. Maintenance personnel quickly and professionally assessed aircraft condition. The #4 main tire (right outboard) had blown. Decision was made to tow aircraft. This was the second leg for the crew with the anti-skid placarded inoperative per the MEL, condition and need to use caution when braking were briefed prior to approach. Captain made a normal flap, on speed landing with a smooth touchdown. Tire blew when brakes were gently applied at approximately 95 KTS on rollout. A slight swerve, like a grabbing brake, was all that was felt on the rudder pedals. The #2 flight attendant said later that the blowout was audible and noticeable in the cabin.
