Default Tire issue

Hey there,not sure where i should set this topic but this seems like the right place, if not let me know. I recently had avoided a big accident(and hour ago), but in the process i locked up my brakes and skidded (70mph - 0). Now i am experiencing a wobble in my front right tire. it starts at about 30mph and it happens about once a second or less. Any ideas on what it might be? friend thinks in the process of skidding i might have made kind of a flat spot on that tire, not sure if true but im not out ruling it since im not a big car guy. Car is a 97 civic dx if thats any help.

Look at the tire and take it off and roll it. You can usually see tread difference even if you cannot actually see the flat spot, or check the roll.

I took the day off to inspect it. I made a flat spot on my tire, not too happy about it, but what can you do. any way thanks for the help.

Also, after i got my tire off i noticed my bell housing was coming off. so i went to autozone and grabbed a new bolt. 2 birds with one stone i guess. Peace

The wobble is coming from the flat spot. But from my knowledge, you cant fix a flat spot, just gotta replace it!
