Narrative:
Flight attendant reported unusual noise after takeoff; everything was normal in cockpit. We later heard from dispatch that rubber and parts were found on runway after our takeoff. After consulting with dispatch and maintenance; I flew a flaps 30 normal approach and only noticed a slightly different nosewheel lift after touchdown and very slight shimmy during rollout. More rubber was found on runway and after consulting maintenance; we taxied to gate. The mechanics found one tire on left body gear that had blown the retread putting a small hole in the panel aft of the gear and at least one metal clamp missing on a support strut.
