Well, as the guy you come to when it happens I can say "I kon't know, but I think it would be scary as all get out"
NOW, Try to go backon the tire manufacturer. Good Year had a problem 4 or 5 years ago and paid for a lot of repairs. Just getting the fender replaced can cost over $300 plus labor. If it got into a slide it can get expensive.
Next item: I am a really, really reputable service comapny, and I'm telling you. If it's more than something simple(a fender or such) you should ALWAYS take it to a dealer(that handles your rig). This way, if something goes wrong later(lets say some sideing was stressed and did'nt show up at the time of the repair) you can go back to the dealer and exercise some pressure for repairs. If a service company did the repairs, then the dealer can say "sorry, they just didn't do it right"
The tire problem is tread seperation.

The fifth wheel is the trailer hitch.
They don't get flat.
So it's not terrifying.

Why would it be terrifying? Just be calm, and slowly pull off the road, and prepare to change the bad tire.
