I’ve never known anyone to get out of their seat until the aircraft was off the runway and nearly at the gate. Aircraft tires blow out on landing, not on the taxi back to the gate.

P.S. - When a tire blows, might it be possible the “ka-clunks” happen a little afterward, as the air actually comes out and the tire pulls apart (if it does)?

I guess I’m saying, just because the tire blows upon landing doesn’t mean all the jolts to the aircraft occur at that precise moment or even all at once.
