Narrative:

Flight XXX aircraft xyz ord-gsp. Waited 2 1/2 hours to depart due to WX in area. On takeoff, during rotation, experienced severe vibration on left side of aircraft with smell of burning rubber. Determined we had probable tire failure. At 700 ft AGL, we declared emergency, elected to fly with gear down. Got flap fail message at this time. Procedure called for pulling and resetting circuit breakers. We were concerned about causing flap asymmetry, so elected to leave gear and flaps down. Confirmed with flight attendant for passenger to brace on landing and not expecting evacuate/evacuation. On landing and rollout, no unusual pulling or directional changes. No difficulty on braking. Landed on runway 14L, pulled off into holding pad. Crash fire rescue equipment and mechanics inspected aircraft and found #1 (left outboard) main tire was missing most of its tread. After we secured aircraft at holding pad, we deplaned passenger with crash fire rescue equipment assistance. We then taxied back to gate. At gate, visual inspection showed outer gear door damage -- a big chunk out of the top, dents on trailing edge of flap, rubber marks on #1 engine nacelle underside, rubber marks 15 inches by 20 inches on inside of anti-ice lip (outboard side), rubber mark on #19 N1 blade mid chord, 2/3 of the distance from hub. Maintenance informed us by phone that a portion of tread went through engine N1 and bypass, causing damage to N1 fan guide vanes and stators (cvg). Tire was not a retread.
