I probably am running the tire pressure a bit too low in the rear.
From the Internet Expert Chair:

Sounds like your rear tire may be worn out. Move the front tire to the back and put a new one on the front. (That'll prevent problems like the one I had last month when my front sidewall, with some 8,000 miles on it, blew out two miles from home. Do as I say, not as I do!)
