Narrative:
A chain of events led to an expensive and embarrassing incident. I had noticed a bald spot on the front tire and planned to talk to our maintenance person. A harder than usual landing led to a blown tire on a controled airport. Trying to taxi clear of the runway on a flat tire, broke the wheel, bent the fork and led to a propeller strike.
