I recently bought the car.. I once braked really hard and ever since then my car is making weird sounds.. Like sounds like something got stuck to my tires.. there is a sound periodically when ever the tire rotates.. car was very smooth until then..but now car vibrates if 0-20 and goes smooth after 20 and vibrates again after 55..

please may I know why ??

Have the tires inspected at a tire and alignment shop. What you described sounds like the tires skidded and have flat spots, but that's not common with passenger car tires. Those flat spots will wear away after a while.

It's also possible a rusty piece of a brake rotor broke off or a pad is hitting a freshly-exposed rust spot. You'll hear and / or feel that once per wheel revolution and it too will eventually stop on its own. Most of the time no corrective action is needed for that.

Yes. I hear the sounds one time per revolution.. It goes off and come again. that is my concern all about. Would see for 1 week from now and let you know if situation worsens further..

Thank you so much for your response.
