Default Odd tire wear/Shake

I have just noticed while out in the driveway with my son that my 1999 v70 has a very odd tire wear issue. Currently I have identical tires all the way around,all new when installed and all at the same time. The drivers side front tire has unusual wear, The treading is basically bald on the outside of the tire (side facing the road) it goes roughly 2 inches back on the tire. The rest of the tires (including the rest of the tire with the odd wear) still appear to have about 75% of their treading left on them. I have tried to explain more in this picture

I have noticed lately a slight "shake" at highway speeds, roughly at 70 or so,gets proggressivly worse as the speed nears 80MPH.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the camber is out of whack. Need to check all the suspension parts (tie rods, tie rod ends, etc.) Something is probably broken, which is why you are getting the shake.
