Former astronaut Richard Haucke was just on FOX, and he pointed out that the increase in tire pressue on the left side during re-entry may have been cause by heat. This may point to a problem with the heat tiles as a potential cause.

Based on what I've seen, it appears that there was a problem with the re-entry before the shuttle broke apart -- this is why I find the word "explosion" so annoying in this context. One of the video clips clearly shows the shuttle coming down sideways before the debris contrails start to appear.
