What could be wrong with drivers side tire on car?

2000 mitsubishi eclipse. When the car is started in cold weather and not fully warmed up for at least 20 minutes of so, it feels like the right front tire is flat (clunking) but it's not. Gradually the flat tire feel disappears completely due to the car warming up. What could possibly be wrong?

    could be a broken belt in your steel belted tire, stop by a tire shop and let them look at it, or try this- when you park it tonight jack up that tire off the ground and leave it over night, tomorrow when your ready to go just let it down and go, see if it helps, if it does its defiantly the tire.

    Go to a used tire spot.

    Have them test that tire out for you. they will check for leaks... pay the extra 5 bucks and have it balanced................

    Have proper inflation in all tires... they will do that for you...... best 10 to 20 bucks spent on you car...... PS< give the guy a 5 dollar tip... dont be cheap

    it's cold and the tire will form a flat spot until it heats up nothing to worry about.

    You couldhave a build up of ice and mud inside the rim. when it warms up it melts and runs out of rim. Take car to car wash and spray the inside of all the rims.
