inconsistant vibe
so i've had a slow leak in my driver's side front tire for a while. While deer hunting It went flat completely so I used the fix a flat in the tool box to fix it and thought that when I got back to town I'd have it fixed. We got back late and the next morning it still held air so ...what the hell I left it. However, now I have a vibration at highway speeds that will fade in and out. Not all the time like a shimmy or anything. I can feel it in the steering wheel which is a good indication that it's in the front end but the inconsistancy is what boggles my mind. Is it the crap I put in the tire making it vibrate or do you guys think it's something else? Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!!

That stuff you put in is like a big can of glue. I most likely has settled on one side of the tire and now it's out of balance. When you squrt it in you were supossed to drive around at 40+ mph for 20 mins or more so it will set up evenly inside the tire. I'd take the tire to a tireshop and get it plugged and all the gunk taken out. If the hole was in the side wall, I think I'd replace the tire, or get it re-balanced.
