Narrative:

On takeoff roll after V1, a slight vibration was felt (which I did not find abnormal--I believed it to be a rough or bumpy spot on the runway), and at rotation a warning light came on, indicating we had an anti-skid fault. We executed a normal takeoff, including gear retraction, and climb out was normal. We then read the abnormal procedures checklist for an anti-skid fault (checklist states that no in-flight action is required). As the flight progressed, we were informed by departure control that the airport fire department personnel had heard an abnormal sound emanating from our location during our takeoff roll. We initially thought that this noise somehow had something to do with the anti-skid problem, but later began to speculate that one of the tires had come apart. We then contacted the appropriate ground personnel at our departure point to check for debris on the runway. Approximately 10 mins later we were notified that there was indeed some tire tread debris on the runway. By this time, we were nearing our destination and notified ATC of our situation, and requested that the emergency vehicles be called out for possible assistance. We briefed the cabin crew and passenger on the situation, and after the cabin was prepared, we performed what turned out to be a normal approach and landing. After turning off the runway, we requested that the emergency personnel check the wheels and gear to determine if it was safe to proceed to the gate. Their inspection revealed that our right inboard main tire was missing its tread, but all others were in good conditions and no smoke was visible. We then taxied to the gate west/O incident. In my opinion, there was nothing the crew could have done to prevent this situation, as the tires were inspected prior to this and every flight, and no discrepancy was visible.

Title: MLG ACFT EXPERIENCED BLOWN TIRE JUST SHORT OF ROTATION AND TKOF. NORMAL LNDG AT DESTINATION.

Narrative: ON TKOF ROLL AFTER V1, A SLIGHT VIBRATION WAS FELT (WHICH I DID NOT FIND ABNORMAL--I BELIEVED IT TO BE A ROUGH OR BUMPY SPOT ON THE RWY), AND AT ROTATION A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING WE HAD AN ANTI-SKID FAULT. WE EXECUTED A NORMAL TKOF, INCLUDING GEAR RETRACTION, AND CLBOUT WAS NORMAL. WE THEN READ THE ABNORMAL PROCS CHKLIST FOR AN ANTI-SKID FAULT (CHKLIST STATES THAT NO INFLT ACTION IS REQUIRED). AS THE FLT PROGRESSED, WE WERE INFORMED BY DEP CTL THAT THE ARPT FIRE DEPT PERSONNEL HAD HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMANATING FROM OUR LOCATION DURING OUR TKOF ROLL. WE INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT THIS NOISE SOMEHOW HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ANTI-SKID PROB, BUT LATER BEGAN TO SPECULATE THAT ONE OF THE TIRES HAD COME APART. WE THEN CONTACTED THE APPROPRIATE GND PERSONNEL AT OUR DEP POINT TO CHK FOR DEBRIS ON THE RWY. APPROX 10 MINS LATER WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS INDEED SOME TIRE TREAD DEBRIS ON THE RWY. BY THIS TIME, WE WERE NEARING OUR DEST AND NOTIFIED ATC OF OUR SITUATION, AND REQUESTED THAT THE EMER VEHICLES BE CALLED OUT FOR POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE. WE BRIEFED THE CABIN CREW AND PAX ON THE SITUATION, AND AFTER THE CABIN WAS PREPARED, WE PERFORMED WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE A NORMAL APCH AND LNDG. AFTER TURNING OFF THE RWY, WE REQUESTED THAT THE EMER PERSONNEL CHK THE WHEELS AND GEAR TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS SAFE TO PROCEED TO THE GATE. THEIR INSPECTION REVEALED THAT OUR RIGHT INBOARD MAIN TIRE WAS MISSING ITS TREAD, BUT ALL OTHERS WERE IN GOOD CONDITIONS AND NO SMOKE WAS VISIBLE. WE THEN TAXIED TO THE GATE W/O INCIDENT. IN MY OPINION, THERE WAS NOTHING THE CREW COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS SITUATION, AS THE TIRES WERE INSPECTED PRIOR TO THIS AND EVERY FLT, AND NO DISCREPANCY WAS VISIBLE.
