I would definently start with changing that out... if that doesnt clear it up, then move to checking tire pressures, balancing and so forth. Good luck!

Both?

You should consider checking all four tires, instead of just two.

You're a funny guy, Frenchy. That's kind of what I was thinking too, though! Like Bolt said, tire balance would be your main issue.

depending on the mileage, mine has 81000 miles on it, if they are still the factory tires, you could have slipped a belt inside the tire, this happens often with steel belted radials
