Narrative:

Upon landing in traverse city, mi, we landed on a sanded and chemically treated runway that was snow covered. We experienced a normal touchdown, and shortly afterward the aircraft veered to left. We encountered 5 runway edge lights. I worked to return aircraft to center of runway and succeeded. The conditions at time of landing were reported by ATIS as wind 320 degrees at 10 KTS, ceiling 1000 ft scattered, 3000 ft scattered, 5500 ft broken, temperature M2/dewpoint M4, ILS 28 in use. During approach ATC reported wind to be 030 degrees at 17 KTS. We taxied to gate and deplaned normally by jetbridge. Upon postflt inspection, we discovered damage to aircraft. Aircraft has maintenance history of worn and flattened tires on left side of aircraft. Mechanic later reported to me that problem may be with anti-skid system on left side of aircraft. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the aircraft struck 5 runway lights when the aircraft veered to the left incurring damage to the right nose landing gear door, small dents and holes in the aft fuselage and a 10 inch skid mark on the #1 tire. The reporter said at the gate maintenance advised that this aircraft had a history of worn and flattened tires on the left gear. The reporter said the cause of the veering to the left in this event is not known and was not revealed by maintenance.
