We were driving straight at 70 MPH on I-35; all tires were properly inflated; there were no obstructions or debris in the roadway; without warning, the left rear tire came apart. The tread came off of the tire, wrapped around the axle while the wheel kept turning. From what I've read on your site, this appears to be exactly the same as the firestone/explorer problems.

When thumping occurred and vehicle was pulling to right we had tires balanced. This did not cure the problem so took it in to have tires checked more throughly. We were told the two front tires had tread separation and to get them off imediately. Thumping and pulling ceased after new tires were put on. (dot number: tiresize: 245/75r16)
