    Check the wheel and brakes are clean, loosen the wheel nuts and retighten jack up car again and spin wheel checking for tyre warp or boulges and check tyre pressures correct first. This will take no more than half hr and costs nothing (20p air machine mayby lol)

    Sounds like wheel balance?
    Have you lost a weight or dinged a poyhole in all the snow recently?
