Tread unwrapping on the I- highway, beating the bejeebers out of
everything within 3 feet for a few seconds, before it goes its own
way, before the car got stopped. Bumper cover, fender, hood, inner
fender, the plastic deal at the bottom of the fender, fender trim,
the door and the plastic trim and the plastic deal at the bottom of
the door. Maybe there was more, but the damage was astounding.
$2500 was not parts only, but body shop price to return it all to the
condition before the tire did the damage. The tire was still holding
air. (properly inflated) Jokohama. Car: 124

Are you guys talking about the tread coming off - or the casing
coming apart? It's pretty rare for just the tread to come off.
