Default bumpy ride in the morning

92 prelude si, stock si wheels, with about 7 month old tires.

Every morning as I pull out onto the street for like the first 400 feet, i have a bumpy ride, like if one the of tires had a bubble in it. It does go away soon after the 400ft. BUt I have pulled all the tires and checked them and no bubble or abnormal wear.

Could this be an axle problem? or maybe I just need the tires balanced?

Could be that your street is just like that. There's a stretch of road by me that looks flat but has a lot of rises in it that makes the car feel funny.

you live in Vegas. it's hot there. if you have really soft tires, and the tire pressure is a little low, you could be developing a mild flat spot in the tires from getting really hot, and then cooling off overnight. as you drive, the tires warm back up and become pliable again. just a theory

that could be true, but it happens inside my apartments and also when I get out onto the street in front of the apartments. The streets in vegas do suck, so that might be totally possible. but it doesn't happen at all in my other car.

I may take my car in and have my tires balanced, and rotated. See if that helps any.

thanks
