Narrative:

While landing at lvk, we experienced 2 blown left main gear tires. We landed with about 15 KTS crosswind at 90 degrees. Immediately after left main gear touched down, the aircraft began to shake and veered slightly left. The captain corrected and we continued straight while shaking. Tower called during the rollout to say they observed smoke from our left main gear tires. We continued to roll out and taxi in believing we had blown 1 of our 2 tires. Upon shutting down, we were able to observe that both left main gear tires had disintegrated, leaving us with no rubber on the wheels and some damage in the wheel well area. The aircraft was parked and another aircraft substituted for the trip.
