You might try CENTRAMATIC'S WHEEL BALANCERS worth a shoot.

Re:Front Tires

I would rotate them.

Have you been taking the corners fast? Or rubbing the tire on curbs? Seems kind of odd that it would just be the passenger side front.

Re:Front Tires

I run 60 psi in the front and 55 in the rear with a few tools in the back. If rotated regularly the tires will last a long time. My truck does a similar thing but it wears the inside of the left rear tire.. My last set was rotated regularly and I got 200 000 Km on them.

Good Luck

Re:Front Tires

No to going around corners fast. Have rotated but not lately, had a tire replaced by a tire shop because of a bad patch had to drive on it flat no where to pull over. They bought me a new one, used the spare put the new ones on the back picked the best two for the front.
