Right, I should've included this info in the original post. In our
car, there was me and the wife in the front and I weight about 200lbs
and my wife about 120lbs. Then in the second row, there were 2 kids
aged 6 and in the third row, there were 2 kids 8 and 10. There was no
cargo to speak of since it was just a day trip. Thanks.

Hi,
Same thought here. May be a big moose was sitting on that side?
I have a neighbor whose whole family is OVER weight.
When they sit in their little Toyota, the car lists 30 degs. to
one side, LOL. Good thing it is a car. If it were horse, the animal's
back would've been broken.

Re: What Could be Causing My Tire To Do This?
There's the solution. You've got almost 550 lbs loading the tires up, and
more than likely you didn't compensate for your extra 80 lbs on one side.

Steve, ya'll would be safer if you were in a minivan in the event the tire
deflated. Not so much roll-over tendency.

Re: What Could be Causing My Tire To Do This?
A) You are a fat *** and the weight on that side of the car went away
once you were out. :-)
B) Most highways have a crown so the car isn't running level as it would
at the place you stopped.

YMMV

Re: What Could be Causing My Tire To Do This?
I've noticed that radials look different when viewed directly from

the left tire would be roughly in front of her while the right tire
would be at an angle. Could that explain her seeing a difference?
