Narrative:

At liftoff noticed vibration and assumed a tire was out of balance. ZDV said that den personnel had found chunks of rubber at 3000 ft, 5000 ft and 8000 ft down runway. We contacted company and arranged for maintenance to observe tires on flyby. They said everything looked normal. We made a normal touchdown, except for delaying speed broke to keep some extra load off mains, didn't notice any excessive vibration on rollout, used light braking (manual). Arrived at gate and found pieces of recap missing around entire tire.
