Exactly what it sounds like. The tire isn't perfectly round, and has become more egg-shaped. It can cause vibrations, howling/thumping noises, etc. These symptoms will get worse the faster you drive. You can try having your local tire shop balance the wheel (usually about $10), but if the tire truly is out of round then you will have to replace it.
