Factual narrative
THE ACFT DEPARTED THE RWY WHEN THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR FAILED DURING LANDING. THE PLT STATED THAT AFTER LANDING THE ACFT PULLED TO THE RIGHT, HE CORRECTED TO THE LEFT AND THE ACFT GROUND LOOPED. INSPECTION OF THE ACFT REVEALED THAT THE RIGHT MAIN TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY HAD FAILED. INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE WHEEL FAILED FROM OVERLOAD AND SHOWED BENDING CONSISTENT WITH A SIDE LOADING.
