Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll the right main landing gear tire and tube came off. The pilot stated that he aborted the takeoff, however, due to the loss of the tire, the aircraft was difficult to control. The aircraft stopped abruptly when the right wheel assembly dug into the dirt at the side of the runway. The propeller and right side wing contacted the surface. After the accident and during an inspection of the wheel, it was reported that the right main wheel outboard bead failed resulting in the separation from the wheel assembly.
