Wheel bearings? tho this should pick up on tracking, was it lazer 4 wheel etc?
brake sticking on (drum / disc)
what about suspension bushes??? i've got the exact same prob on my vectra, inside quater of tyre bald, other 3/4 loads of tread. bushes completely worn and tyre sitting at a funny angle because of this.

TBH i've no odea what caused it. Have been doing a fair few motorway miles the past couple of weeks and the rear tyres were the front tyres hence the bald edges from the power steering
