WHERE: From one or more tires.
9 q2 C) {% r8 |$ }WHEN: At low speeds, especially in the morning. Speeds up with car.
( v' g% K" B* @9 }! a4 {, `" q hWHAT: Flat-spotted tire. As the tire rotates the flat spot thumps on the ground. Nylon-cord tires will flat-spot overnight and make this sound until they warm up. It's usually worse in colder weather. You can permanently flat-spot the tires by locking up the wheels, grinding massive amounts of rubber off the tread in one spot.

+ W% K+ y9 o b/ B, n7 k' uFIX: Replace your nylon tires with steel-belted tires. If you've ground down your tires like a pencil eraser, you can either live with the vibration until wear reduces the flat-spotting or buy a new tires.& g- }. }2 N& ~ q% `- V
