My 3 5-door has a "shake" for the first half mile that I drive every morning. Wheel balances checked out okay. I'm in OH, and its been fairly cold ever since I've had the car, so don't know if it will do away once it warms up (which can't come soon enough). Its as if the tires get a flat spot from sitting overnight. Tire pressure is fine, too. Anybody else having this problem? Its not a big deal, just kind of annoying.

is it garaged? if not, it might be excess snow in the rims causing a misbalance until it gets thrown off as you drive.

My car did that after a night of heavy snow, I just sprayed my steelies with hot soapy water from a carwash and all was smooth again.
