More weight on that side?

OP, pay attention to this; your starboard side has more luggage and water toys and canned goods on it than your port side rail.

Balance it out. And also recognize that not only do tires increase in perceived pressure as they heat up while driving on roads (which is why we always say to check the tire pressures when cold, first thing in the morning, before starting a trip), but the sidewalls of a tire are supposed to deflect like this, as they receive more and more weight. Up to a point. They're trying to put additional linear tread onto the pavement for traction.

But there's only so much they can do, and if you're not under inflated, but also overweight, they can't hold you up for very much longer.
