Narrative:

At approximately 100 KTS, the captain stated he had no steering and was veering left of centerline. The aircraft acted as if we had blown a nosewheel tire. I informed the tower. After slowing to a taxi speed the captain stated he was regaining control of the steering. We then taxied to the gate without incident. After maintenance was performed on the aircraft, I was asked to perform a high speed taxi. We configured the aircraft using the tps data from flight (the outbound flight from ZZZZ to ZZZ). The high speed taxi had negative results. The same steering problem had duplicated itself but this time the abort had caused the automatic brakes to activate, creating an overheat condition on the left main tires. The #1 and #2 tires subsequently blew.

Title: AN MD80 ON LNDG HAD NO NOSE STEERING. MAINT REQUESTED HIGH SPD TAXI TEST. TEST DUPLICATED STEERING PROB AND BLEW #1 AND #2 MAIN TIRES.

Narrative: AT APPROX 100 KTS, THE CAPT STATED HE HAD NO STEERING AND WAS VEERING L OF CTRLINE. THE ACFT ACTED AS IF WE HAD BLOWN A NOSEWHEEL TIRE. I INFORMED THE TWR. AFTER SLOWING TO A TAXI SPD THE CAPT STATED HE WAS REGAINING CTL OF THE STEERING. WE THEN TAXIED TO THE GATE WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER MAINT WAS PERFORMED ON THE ACFT, I WAS ASKED TO PERFORM A HIGH SPD TAXI. WE CONFIGURED THE ACFT USING THE TPS DATA FROM FLT (THE OUTBOUND FLT FROM ZZZZ TO ZZZ). THE HIGH SPD TAXI HAD NEGATIVE RESULTS. THE SAME STEERING PROB HAD DUPLICATED ITSELF BUT THIS TIME THE ABORT HAD CAUSED THE AUTO BRAKES TO ACTIVATE, CREATING AN OVERHEAT CONDITION ON THE L MAIN TIRES. THE #1 AND #2 TIRES SUBSEQUENTLY BLEW.
