Human Factors; Weather
I conducted a routine pre-flight of the aircraft and no anomalies were noted.  I requested that the aircraft be fueled; and that was done.  I also checked weather and NOTAMs for my solo flight.  I noted some wind indicated in the forecast - clear; unlimited visibility; wind variable 6 G 13; 30.01 altimeter - but well within aircraft and pilot limitations.  Actual weather at take-off was clear VFR and unremarkable.I then had a routine flight for approximately one hour focusing primarily on use of the Garmin avionics system.  I did an approach and landing which was uneventful.I returned to [home airport].  My initial approach was stabilized; but I was alert because of wind guests.  On touchdown; the aircraft became airborne after a wind gust. I executed a balked landing procedure as the aircraft settled on the runway and went around.On my second approach to land; the aircraft was again on a stabilized approach through flare and touchdown.  I was conducting a no-flaps approach because of the wind. After touchdown; there was an exceptional gust of wind which caused the aircraft to veer sharply to the left.  I immediately applied full right rudder and heavy braking to maintain control of the aircraft and avoid exiting the runway.  Despite my best efforts; the aircraft exited the runway.  I immediately released hard braking to avoid flipping the aircraft and focused on maintaining control; which I did.The aircraft came to rest adjacent to the intersecting taxi-way.  I could tell that the left tire was flat so I stopped the engine and exited the aircraft to inspect it and assess the situation.
Pilot reported loss of directional control after landing in gusty winds resulted in a runway excursion.
