Description of the problem	I was driving a 2004 ford 150 pickup south on interstate 29 near glenwood iowa when the steering wheel began to vibrate. I tried to pull to the right to see what was causing it when the right front tire seemed to explode. I was able to pull off the highway to the right without losing control of the truck and got out to see what had happened. I found the right front passenger tire still inflated but without any tread on the tire. I also found half the running board was missing, and a small dent in the door just above where the running board used to be. I called a tow truck and had the vehicle towed to tincher ford in glenwood iowa and had the tire replaced. This cost wa s$157. 00. I still did not know what it was going to cost to replace the running board. The mechanic mentioned he had never seen the tread on a tire separate the way this one did. I kept the old tire and replaced it with the exact same brand, a general ameritrac tr p255/70 r17. I am nervous about driving on these tires now with the fear of this reoccuring. I just heard there has been a series of accidents and even deaths caused by this tire. I would also like to recover the cost of the repairs to my pickup and tires.*ak
