Default Sudden tire vibration...

I was out riding this weekend and came across a strange issue. I was on my way home from a nice ride on the highway and realized i needed to pull over and find some toll money. After pulling back out on the highway i noticed a strange vibration coming from the front end. It seemed to be a cyclic vibration. I got off the highway and pulled into a gas station to take a look. My front tire seemed to be worn unevenly and slightly cupped. I thought this could have been the issue, but it just started out of the blue. Figured if it were the tire it would have been slowly building up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I plan on getting a new tire soon, but would like to make sure im not missing something else. Thanks in advance.

Did you lose a weight? There are a couple of styles.. stick on and clip on, used to balance your tire.
Did you check for proper inflation?

Sadly the tire was never balanced to begin with. Never had a problem with it. Smooth as silk. Then it just started. Maybe it was building up slowly then just really set in. The pressure was a little low. Nothing to write home about tho. 32 psi.
