    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.

    A) You are a fat ass 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.

    That would make the right side tire look lower.
    Unless you are driving on the wrong side of the road.

    If the tire checks out okay & isn't losing air, I wouldn't worry about it.

    YMMV

    I've noticed that radials look different when viewed directly from
    behind and from an angle. If the person reporting this was driving,
    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?
