Negative camber, plus a little toe, throw in a stretched tire, and maybe low tire pressure.

I could see a tire doing that to you. Obvious signs of wear are on the inside of the tire.

Yeah dude the insides of those were toast... still a bit of a rarity though. You need an adjustment, count your lucky stars this wasn't a far more negative situation though.

do you check your tire pressure regularly?

You need an alignment. You almost toasted a VOLK! I would throw up....
I'm going to go check my tire pressure right now.

I was on used Generals, exact same thing happened to me.... After getting new rubber, I promptly got a camber kit, I know there's advantages of negative camber but blowing a tire on the highway is freaky....
