First cold morning with my bonneville...
So I had my first cold morning < 15 degreres and she popped right off of course but when I took off it felt like I had a flat tire ???
I know I did not as I checked them when I came out and it only lasted about 6-8 blocks .. :?:
I noticed also when it was still "warm" out from a slow take off to 25-30 mph the car "wiggles" a little bit until I reach 30+ mph then it is fine ?
I assume that is a bent rim but have not had time to stop and have it checked,the tires look like new on this also.
Any ideas on the first question ?

When cold, tires can have flat spots until they warm and soften up a bit. Not much way to prevent this, but proper inflation can lessen it.
I'd never seen this until I moved to MN, but then again, I'd apparently never actually been cold before either.

The 1st cold day here I noticed the same thing. It felt as if I had a flat tire, but then it smoothed out. I thought I was crazy, guess not lol
