Aircraft
On landing at touch down (very smooth) the airplane veered abruptly to the left. I applied full right rudder to regain directional control; and forced the nose wheel on the ground. Roll out was normal. When we exited the runway we stopped and checked for damage. Nothing noted. We continued taxi and when parked we noticed #1 and 2 tires flat spotted.
Upon touchdown with the nose not on runway yet; the aircraft veered violently to the left. Pilot unable to correct with flight controls so the nose was pushed to the ground so the nose steering could be used to regain control. We were close to departing the left lateral runway edge. Severe vibration was also felt. After stopping on runway we were able to taxi clear on a taxiway. We stopped on taxiway and FO (First Officer) exited aircraft to perform visual inspection of aircraft. No major discrepancy was noticed but we could see an abnormally large smoke plume at runway touchdown point. ATC tower also saw the smoke and already had an ops vehicle headed out to runway. While we taxied back to FBO there was noticeable tire damage felt. (Flat spots). At our visual inspection on the ramp; we noticed both tires on left main gear had major flat spots through multiple tread layers.
During landing the left brake of a Hawker 800XP momentarily locked causing an abrupt left shift and flat spots on tires #1 and #2 which required maintenance.
