Frankenstipe, what you see on the tire is not necessarily what is happening at the contact patch. Have you checked it? Lift the car, apply some water base paint on the tread so it's easy to clean, lower the car on a sheet of paper and lift again to look at the result and see if the whole width of the tread made contact.
