A passenger reported there was heavy braking during roll out, the aircraft subsequently stopped in an unusual location of the aerodrome at the end of the runway. Emergency services responded and checked the aircraft. The captain announced that a tyre pressure sensor was indicating low tyre pressure for one of the tyres and maintenance needed to check. Some time later the aircraft taxied very slowly to a remote stand on the apron, the passengers disembarked and were bussed to the terminal. On exiting the aircraft the passenger noticed the forward right tyre of the left main gear was flat, some parts of the tyre were discoloured.
The aircraft remained on the ground for about 22 hours before resuming service.
