Vibration and Burning Smell

Ok, I have checked other threads and archived threads and couldnt find a similar problem. I have a 2000 Corolla CE. My car vibrates when on the move at the rate of once every rotation. This vibration is similar to the one I had when my rear tyre was torn, only that it seems to come from the front right tyre. When I slow down the car and speed it up again in traffic, sometimes the vibration goes away, but mostly returns when I slow and speed again (Not at stop and go speeds, but at freeway speeds). I checked the tyre and do not see any visible damage to it. The front tyres are less than 8K miles old.
For the past one week, I have also been noticing a faint smell of burning rubber coming from the front of my car when I get out after driving even a couple of miles - I am attributing it to the fact that I just shipped the car to New Jersey from California and have been using up the heater more than I ever used to.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
