I recently landed at KRVS and made an acceptable approach and landing in busy traffic, so I was a little more aggressive on brakes, but no tire screaching, flat spots, etc. As plane was slowing started veering left and it happened to be about same time I was turning left anyway but slowly became uncontrollable and took a lot of power to keep moving so I shut it down. Got the airplane on a special tow mechanism, didn't damage wheel pants, etc and got it towed over to maintenance. There were no flat spots on tire but the mechanic said I had the wrong inner tube and there was a cut in the wheel, not caused by above issue. Seems curious to me as I have been a lot more aggressive in the past in my mooney and in other airplanes in previous uses. I have 5000 hours total, 3500 jet and turbo prop so not some green pilot. Has anybody else seen this? Or was it something that just happened? Was an expensive repair as the Cessna mechanics were on overtime charges....
