Usually this doesn't happen as much because I run zero toe, but I didn't check the pressure on them all Summer and I just did and it was 32PSI all around. I pumped it back up to 40PSI so hopefully I have moved the contact patch closer to the center of the tread.

Wearing out the insides faster than the rest can actually throw them out of balance. or so i've been told by people who balance tires ... (or outsides faster than inside) ... but tossing a weight is a sure way to get vibrations. Jeana's car is getting some vibrations now and her tires are way worn out, and a bit unevenly ... it might be something else...
