my guess would be a shifted belt in the tire, or a bubble.

Belts don't actually "shift" although this is what people call it....
Belts seperate. Have a tire dealer check this as it is a safety issue. Can be caused by underinflation/overloading, road hazard, pothole or curbing.......

swap tires front to back if you can, with offset..... That will help you narrow it down pretty quick.
