MORE STUFF I MIGHT ADD IS

A "GOOSE EGG" POSSIBLY DEVELOPS IF A RADIAL BELT IS BROKEN, IT USUALLY GETS WORSE VERY QUICKLY AND IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE!

REMOVING THE WHEEL AND ROLLING IT MIGHT SHOW AN OBVIOUS OUT-OF-ROUND SITUATION

MOVING EACH FRONT WHEEL TO THE REAR (ONE AT A TIME, THEN A TEST DRIVE) MIGHT SHOW THAT THE "ABNORMALITY" HAS MOVED TO THE REAR, IT MAY SHAKE (NOT AS BAD) IN THE REAR, BUT THE STEERING SHOULD RETURN TO NORMAL.

'NUTHER TIRE WOULD BE THE "SAFE" SOLUTION ONCE THE EVIL TIRE IS FOUND!

LEMME KNOW HOW IT GOES!
