Blown tire can lead to collapse.

The manual for most types I have experiance on (military) clearly states that landing with a blown tire that has not separated completely from the rim can lead to gear collapse due to heavy vibrations. It does not state if the collapse is due to the downlock actuator beeing shaken into the unlocked position or due to the failure of the entire landing gear structure.
