Hmm, besides from hearing nosies, do you feel any vibrations. I can't really think of what may cause this with your description. Are you dropped?

if you think it's a flat spot ... put that tire on the front and light em up! that'll take care of any flat spots and give you some fun at the same time. sounds like it could be the rim as Snypa has mentioned. check both the inside lip of the rim and the outside too .... carefull inspection may reviel the problem.

burn outs are still fun tho!

you could be out of round. take it to your local tire shop and have them check it out. sometimes you can't tell by just looking.
