We experienced a tire failure upon landing. The landing and rollout was normal; after stowing the spoilers and slowing through 40 knots as we transferred controls; we experienced some difficulty in maintaining directional control; and swung no more than 4-5 feet left/right of the runway centerline. As I turned off; Tower advised it appeared we had a flat right main landing gear tire. After slowly taxiing to the gate and deplaning without incident; I made the required calls to Dispatch; Maintenance; and the Chief Pilot Office. This was some sort of aircraft malfunction. The landing and rollout was normal. Brake application and deceleration was firm but not abrupt nor aggressive.A logbook review showed the exact same issue happened the day before. Same aircraft; same side; flat tires on the MLG. Furthermore; I've since become aware that this issue occurred again. Same airplane; flat tires on right MLG. 3 times in 5 days. Airplanes with recurring issues should not be signed of as airworthy and continue flying. The company should do whatever is necessary to give our maintenance personnel the tools they need to do their job properly.
CRJ-200 Captain reported the right main landing gear tire went flat on landing. The aircraft had the same tire fail 3 times in 5 days.
