Uneven Tire Wear?

Just bought my TL and just noticed the rear passenger side tire is worn much more than the other 3 tires (But not unevenly)., it was at 32PSI and the other 3 were 35-36. I would just attribute this to the PSI and not worry, but I also noticed a slight shake/sound. It is most evident at 20-30MPH while turning the car kinda bounces a bit.

At higher speeds it doesnt really shake/bounce much but I can hear it. I suppose it is sounds like pitch of the regular tire sound going vumm.vumm.vumm.

Anyways, I suppose I will rotate to try and slow the wear on the back tire, and when I need to replace one or all the tires I will look into a balance or alignment if that seems like it could be an issue, it does pull left a little bit.

Could there be any other problems to look into?
