lumpy tire feeling when braking not as much when accelerating but whenever im slowing down to a light i always notice this sort of lumping feeling from the tires or wheels. i think its towards the back but not sure. sort of feels like im going over a bump or somethings on the tire. i just had an alignment and all my other problems fixed so this is confusing. brand new tires. however they are snow tires. this is my first set of snows so i dont know if this is what they do or not. thanks

I would agree with warped rotors. I had mine turned under factory warranty and the problem went away. What brand snows? They sometimes feel a little squirrely under braking on dry and warmer pavement. Why are you running snows now? It's not gonna snow for a few more weeks! (crosses fingers,toes and whatever else I can)

Mine were a bit warped last year and got progressively worse. I just lived with it. This spring I finally took it in to have em fixed under warranty. I wish they would have replaced them instead of turning them.

all you guys with warrantys *sigh* that has to be the problem! because i have also noticed the braking has changed alot as well. sometimes it slips too because i'll be at a light and u know when u get that feeling where someone is rolling backwards and u think ure going forward.. well i get that but the car actually is going forward.. damnn i have to throw 200$ at this damn car every two weeks ..i dunno if i can get new rotors right now. how much would turning them cost and how long would it last?
as for the snow tire question turns out i ruined my summer tires in 3 months down to less than 2/32 tread so i just said **** you and threw the stock wheels back on and got the snow tires for the upcoming season.

Turning both of them will probably run you about $30 or so. Find a NAPA with a machine shop or some other automotive place that has a machine shop that can turn them for you.
