feels like flat..but isn't

a couple of days ago I was traveling down the road at about 50ish when this van decides to pull out into my lane so i switch lanes and slow down a bit when the ****er decides to pull into my lane, so i blow my horn slam the brakes and almost hit the bastard. I slammed on them going about 40 to a complete stop. ever since then it feels almost like I have a flat. I checked all my tires and they still look fine any ideas?

Perhaps you locked up your brakes and your tires have a flat spot somewhere or another small irregularity due to heavy braking...take a look and then move the car a few feet and check again...

hmmm.... you say you looked at the tires but did you actually check the pressure? mine 'look' the same between 15 & 30 psi.....

I'll check the pressure...as far as the feeling goes, it's like riding on a bumpy road...but not too bumpy, I don't even know if it is noticeable not driving, but it definitely feels different from before, how can i check for warped rotors
