Funny Feelin, Tires?

I have an 07 TL Type-S, it feels like I have a bad tire? Even on smooth roads, it doesn't feel real smooth. Not real bad, just something seams wrong. I felt the tires and can't seam to feel anything wrong. The tire pressure is fine. When I first drive it after sitting, it feels worse. Once I drive a while it gets better, but still doesn't seam as smooth as it did a month ago. I have about 3500 miles on the car. Last month I went to southern Chicago about 4 times in a 2 week period. I was driving quite aggressive but not crazzy. Maybe 100mph a couple times. But I was doing 80-85 average. With aggressive lane changes, but nothing out of the norm.

You may have thrown a tire weight, there are a lot of pot holes in the roads this time of year! You may need to get the tires balanced and see if that helps...

some tires have "flat spot" after sitting for hours and get better when You drive for few miles.

I checked for missing wheel weights, but didn't see any gone? I understand the flat spots, but it wasn't doing it at all, then it appeared. Or now I feel the car isn't as smooth, even on new pavement?
