I let my 99 silverado go too long before rotating the tires and now they are worn uneven. there is a pretty good vibration in the front end. I know there is nothing I can do to "fix" the tire, but I am curious if the vibration will damage anything else over time. I am 99.9% sure it is the tires. It didnt start until i rotated them.
If I understand your post, you have rotated the tires, and now evidently have good, square tires on the front, and it has started vibrating as a result. If that's the case, check the camber and toe-in.
Cupped tires go with things like worn shocks, so check them out first. If the cupping is not that bad, the tires may be able to be "shaved" by a shop that specializes in 4X4 wheel alignments. They basically spin the tire and use a tool that evens out the tread.
It is also common to have an out-of-balance (usually a weight has fallen off, unless you're 'drifting' around corners) tire in the back that you can't really feel, but it becomes noticable when moved almost right under your feet.
EDITED to put the "t" in drifting
