CESSNA PLT BRAKES HARD ENOUGH TO BLOW A TIRE THINKING THE RWY END IS NEAR BECAUSE OF RESTR VISIBILITY DUE TO SETTING SUN.

Narrative

I HAD A PROB RELATED TO SUN GLARE WHILE LNDG INTO A SUNSET. AROUND XA00 LCL TIME; I LANDED ON RWY 27 AT CDW. I TOUCHED DOWN WITH 30 DEGS OF FLAPS. WHILE HOLDING THE NOSEWHEEL OFF THE RWY; THE SUN GLARE MADE THE RWY APPEAR SHORTER IN LENGTH THAN IT ACTUALLY WAS. FEARING THE WORST; I LOWERED THE NOSEWHEEL TO THE RWY AND BRAKED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. (HARD BRAKING RESULTED IN A FLAT TIRE.) LOWERING THE NOSEWHEEL REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF GLARE. IMMEDIATELY I SAW THAT THERE WAS SUFFICIENT RWY IN FRONT OF ME FOR THE LNDG AND THAT I HAD APPLIED TOO MUCH BRAKE TO STOP THE ACFT. I CONTINUED TO DECELERATE AND TRIED TO EXIT THE RWY AT TXWY B. I MANAGED TAXI AS FAR AS THE RWY HOLDING POS MARKINGS. I RPTED TO THE GND CTLR THAT THE ACFT HAD A FLAT TIRE. HE CONFIRMED THAT THE R MAIN TIRE APPEARED FLAT AND ASKED ME TO TAXI ACROSS THE HOLDING POS MARKINGS. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS UNABLE TO TAXI ANY FARTHER. HE SAID THAT HE WAS SENDING ARPTS OPS. ATC THEN CLOSED RWY 27. TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING; I WILL REQUEST RWY 22 WHILE LNDG LATE IN THE DAY AT CDW. IF THIS RWY IS NOT AVAILABLE; I WILL LAND AT ANOTHER ARPT IN THE AREA.
