Analysis
The pilot reported that while approaching to land, the tower controller at the destination airport issued revised landing instructions. The pilot said that he complied with the revised instructions but landed long on the runway. When he attempted to stop the airplane the left main landing gear tire blew. The pilot initially added power to execute an aborted landing and then decided that the safest course of action was to reduce power and attempt to stop on the remaining runway. The airplane went off the end of the 9,352 foot long runway and struck a fence. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings.
