I have also experienced a blown out tire. But this happened at my second throwaway company in which I did all kinds of aerobatic stress maneouvres
after which I came down on my right gear in the 500- fpm range. Everyone survived. In all my serious attempts I never blown out tires, never. Even on
those 2 flights I got hit by severe turbulence (mostly user defined weather) hard landings, but safe landings.
Basically you can calculate your descend rate with variables such as speed and distance. And if you want a certain descent rate on your glideslope and
your on low aproach (1500feet) you just have to start the glideslope later during the aproach and if your on high aproach (2500feet) you have to start
the glideslope much sooner.
Both DME and ILS will guide your G/S later on low aproaches and sooner on high aproaches.
And if you've done them on all of them many times, you should instinctively handle all aproaches.
Autoland?
People actually autoland?
Maybe there lies the problem.
Perhaps flaring is something you'll have to do yourself.
