While driving West bound on interstate highway 80 East of imlay, nv at approximately 70 mph in lane #2, the left rear tire lost about 80-85% of it's tread in about 10 seconds, extensively damaging the underside wheel well area near the tire and the body of the vehicle. Control of the vehicle was never lost, although there was veering from side to side and violent loud banging as the tread pieces were hitting the vehicle. The remaining tire carcass did not lose air pressure, and we managed to safely come to a stop on the right highway shoulder. After stopping and determining the extent of damage to the vehicle and that the tire was not flat, we slowly drove about one mile to the next exit, left the highway and changed the tire. The 4 tires had all been properly inflated and had about 11,045 miles on them since all four were purchased in 2012. The tires are B F goodrich, LT265 / 75R16, "rugged terrain T/a". the vehicle is a 2004 Ford F-250 super cab 4X4 pickup truck.
