As to what would happen on landing if it were set my guess would be a very rapid stop
Actually, the stop isn't that rapid (but it is low on directional control). There just isn't much friction produced by either the blown tire carcass or the four main wheel rims as they grind down the runway. Now that's what I'd call a Rimmer.
