Sounds like you have a bald spot, or your tires are cupping. If you slammed the brakes on hard enough and long enough it will create a bald spot, as your car goes you hear a thumping noise very fast, replace the tire, or move it to the rear and it should go away mostly.

word, you just dragged an uneven spot onto the tire. get a new one, or if your lucky, have the place you bought them from warrantee them, they look new enough.

Haha. I locked up the right front on the z at 130mph after being cut off by a semi going 50mph. The tire was so flat spotted that the car was undrivable at 60mph+. The tire was half worn with one bald line of cords showing going across the tire. I also blew out the right rear caliper piston seal at the same time, which drained the system, which blew the master cylinder. $400 worth of damage in one slam of the brakes. Fun huh??

YA, YO, i,m back fresh out of prison. Don't ask. I agree just a flat spot repalce the tire. If it rolls smooth then "gallops" when you hit the brakes to slow down, you warrped the rotors.
