When pulling into the gate; a large flat spot was found on the Number 3 tire and the tire was deflated. A normal landing and normal braking was made. Taxied off and back to the gate normally. On short final; the ANTISKID light illuminated intermittently; but the approach was continued due to intermittent illumination. The light was not illuminated during the actual landing. The Number 3 tire was written up along with the ANTISKID light and the aircraft was given to Maintenance. If put in the same situation; I would recommend a go-around to investigate the intermittent light and possibly divert to a longer runway.
The landing was firm but appeared normal. On the rollout; braking felt normal and stopping margin was not a factor. Also; on short final; the AUTOBRAKE light and ANTISKID lights were intermittent. On short final; I assumed it was just an autobrake problem. I wrote up the Number 3 tire and the intermittent anti-skid light. Maintenance changed the Number 3 and Number 4 tires and grounded the aircraft. I should have gone around and better analyzed the problem.
A B737-700's AUTOBRAKE and ANTISKID lights illuminated intermittently on final. After landing and parking at the gate; Number 3 tire was flat and Number 4 tire was also changed.
