Tire Issues 200

The best way I can think of(other than jacking the vehicle and spinning the wheels, and visually inspecting them) is to drive very slowly, and the car will have a rocking motion as it rolls over the spot on the tire where the 'bump' is. Another indicator is if it is a balance issue, you will usually have the shake or shimmy reoccurring at the same speed, and when you get to a point faster (or slower aometimes) than that it will sometimes smooth out.

A warped wheel is another issue ... could it be that?

Hope I helped;
