Wheel run-out?

Not Porsche but Skoda.
Have 17" alloy rims on my Skoda Superb, and at low speeds, about 15 mph there is a lateral 'wobble' to the car, feeling like it's from the front. The rim run out is about 1.5mm max on the NSF and about 1/2 that on the OSF
Tyre wear is absolutely even round and across the tyres (all 4 in fact).
All 4 tyres were replaced at the same time 2 years ago all the same make/size etc but the NSF has a very slow leak, about 3 psi in 2 or 3 weeks.
There are no side wall bulges etc. BUT, the NSF is about 1mm more worn that the other front. and now at 5mm depth.
Car is 4x4.
As ever, the car has faced pot holes in the 92.000 miles it has from new and in my ownership.
Could that level of run-out cause the wobble and could it induce tyre wear but even all over the tread of the tyre?
