Narrative:

While we were at taxi speed the right main rim separated and blew out the right main tire. We kept all passenger aboard the aircraft until company arrived with a bus to transport. 1 passenger remarked that the tire appeared to be bald, although the tire still had good tread. Our maintenance department replaced the rim and tire and we taxied the airplane to our hangar facility where photos were taken of the blown tire. The incident occurred at orlando international airport on taxiway gulf south of G-20 en route to runway 17.
