Ive seen many like that. I had a firestone that was about a year old that came loose like that around 80mph on my bug......... a tad bit of vibration.I think if the car weighed more than a turd I would of been in trouble... I slowed down get off innerstate went to show(1/4 mile from innerstate) then tried to find tire store.....after about 3 miles going slow(20mph or less) it went down.and the tire store I was going to that used to recap tires right there....was now just a used up tire store...home and not a single 15" tire.she told me discount had just opened 2 miles down the road.so i barrowed her jack and got off to the new store....for 2 new rear tires...now on the front (205 75 15) they were too small for the rear, but were afordable at the time .
