Had just completed driving 280 miles on I-10 and temperature was approx. 100 degrees. Tires were at 80 psi and had been checked prior to trip. Exited off I-10 onto county road and then onto another secondary road. Had just accelerated to 45 MPH when I heard loud banging noise and and felt back end vibrate. Pulled off road and stopped within 100 yards. Found that right rear tire tread had completely separated from mounted tire and it was now wrapped around axle in one piece. The interior tire was destroyed and wheel was resting on shredded sidewall and rim. Tires are 10 ply, e rated. Inspection of entire separated tread revealed no punctures or other damage. Vehicle often used to pull horse trailer. Believe had tire tread separation occurred at highway speeds, collision/rollover could have resulted due to rapid tire deflation onto rim and tread wrapping around axle. Am state police officer and have investigated multiple injury/fatality collisions involving firestone wilderness tires. Tire separation in this incident appears to be similar.
