Combination of the tires being balanced and the brakes having UN even wear

Tire balance has nothing to do with this. Uneven brake wear won't cause it either.

Unequal tire pressure, tire heights and different tire sizes side to side will all do this.
How do you know the camber is off? Have you had an alignment?

Go check the tire pressure 1st, then make sure you don't have 1 worn out rear tire and a full tread depth tire on the other side. Last check to be sure both rear tires are the same size.

What tires are you running? Are they all the same?

My bet is one of your tires is low on air.

A member in our club here had a bad new Goodyear Eagle F1 tire. Broken belt or something that caused it to pull to whatever side it was on.
