car shakes when cold

my 03 tl type s shakes when i first start driving in the morning when it's below zero out. Feels like the wheels are out of balance, but then the problem goes away after 20 miles.

I have never used any fix a flat or anything like that in the tires.

The problem is only noticible when i hit 50mph or so

Are you talking about the shaking from the wheels or from the engine, or the rpm?

I'm pretty sure he's referring to his tires.

Tires take a "set" from cold. Evens out as they warm up and become more supple.

I wonder if your tires have flat spot from parking just overnight.
