What's wrong with it? The tire is bad, obviously, if it has blown off. Just because it has a lot of thread left doesnt mean it didn't have a damage on the side of it or some other defect.You should expect the wheel everytime you feel or hear something unusual coming from that area.Good luck.

It sounds like there could be a number of problems,one your right wheel maybe out of balance,or you may need a front end aligment, or some time with recaps you tread may lift of

the noise and vibration was from your wheel rattling around because your lugnuts were loose.

The wheel blew off? Or just the tire?The only way a wheel comes off is loose lugnuts.Tire blow out could be anyone guess.
