So recently I had a left rear tire separate halfway through a 4.5 hour drive home from the cottage. Had to put the spare on the drive axle, and drive 2.5 hours home like that with the car pulling like a bucking bronco every time I touched the throttle.

So I can chime in with certainty that this issue most likely has something to do with the rear axle set up in most cases, whether it be unevenly worn tires or a bad alignment. With the spare on one side, and a 9.5-inch-wide wheel on the other side, it was doing this like CRAZY.

4 new tires and an alignment and she drives laser-straight now.
