Synopsis
SR-22 pilot reported a tire failure upon hard braking after landing on a night currency flight at a non-towered airport. The pilot cleared the runway; then needed assistance to move the aircraft to the ramp to repair the tire.
Narrative
Landed at ZZZ airport at approx XA:15. Was cleared for the RNAV RWY XX into ZZZ by ZZZ Approach Control. Working on night currency so the plan was a stop and go to rejoin IFR flight plan. Plenty of runway. Clear visibility and dry conditions. Good asphalt. Had a great approach with good energy management to touched down near numbers to use full runway. I then braked hard to stop for the stop and go. Plane started to skid with some yawing motion and then left main tire ruptured. Plane was nearly stopped so no loss of control or runway excursion. Was able to roll the plane off the runway at taxiway 1. Called FSS to inform of situation and cancel IFR flight plan. ZZZ Approach Control called me to check on me and we discussed the hazard of the plane on the taxiway. Called airport manager and mechanic who helped me jack up wheel and move the plane to ramp by around XC:30 am. Mechanic and I returned next day to inspect and replace tire; mechanic logged repair and returned plane to service. I flew plane back to home airport. I was treating the landing as a short field landing due to planned stop and go; but I must have been too aggressive with braking. In retrospect I could have done a full stop and taxi back if I was at all concerned with my ability to execute the stop and go. I felt some pressure to rejoin my open IFR flight plan with ZZZ Approach to continue with my additional stops. The cirrus does not have anti-lock brakes; so there is a risk of a skid with hard breaking. I'll be using more aerodynamic breaking in the future to reduce the risk of a skid.
