Narrative:

At some point during takeoff roll, the right outboard main gear tire failed/recap separated. Crew noticed nothing unusual, either noise or vibration. Aircraft operated normally (no control problems) and continued on to lax. Damage to tire, flaps, spoilers, gear door and fuselage noticed on walk around by first officer in lax prior to next flight segment. I believe that the problem arose due to the tire failure which might have occurred due to age of recap or manufacturing method although I am not qualified to make that determination. Contributing to the failure I'm sure was the airport elevation 5012 ft, temperature 81 degrees, and roughness of the runway. Also the need for an 'improved climb takeoff' which increased rotation speed from approximately 140 KTS to 169 KTS. Corrective action might include only the use of new/non retreaded tires at certain gross weight critical airports although I know this probably is not practical. I really believe this is one of those incidents that just happen and thankfully everything just worked out ok.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: MLG SHEDS TIRE RECAP DURING TKOF FROM GDL.

Narrative: AT SOME POINT DURING TKOF ROLL, THE R OUTBOARD MAIN GEAR TIRE FAILED/RECAP SEPARATED. CREW NOTICED NOTHING UNUSUAL, EITHER NOISE OR VIBRATION. ACFT OPERATED NORMALLY (NO CTL PROBS) AND CONTINUED ON TO LAX. DAMAGE TO TIRE, FLAPS, SPOILERS, GEAR DOOR AND FUSELAGE NOTICED ON WALK AROUND BY FO IN LAX PRIOR TO NEXT FLT SEGMENT. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROB AROSE DUE TO THE TIRE FAILURE WHICH MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO AGE OF RECAP OR MANUFACTURING METHOD ALTHOUGH I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. CONTRIBUTING TO THE FAILURE I'M SURE WAS THE ARPT ELEVATION 5012 FT, TEMPERATURE 81 DEGS, AND ROUGHNESS OF THE RWY. ALSO THE NEED FOR AN 'IMPROVED CLB TKOF' WHICH INCREASED ROTATION SPD FROM APPROX 140 KTS TO 169 KTS. CORRECTIVE ACTION MIGHT INCLUDE ONLY THE USE OF NEW/NON RETREADED TIRES AT CERTAIN GROSS WT CRITICAL ARPTS ALTHOUGH I KNOW THIS PROBABLY IS NOT PRACTICAL. I REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE INCIDENTS THAT JUST HAPPEN AND THANKFULLY EVERYTHING JUST WORKED OUT OK.
