Also, take your car to one of those power-wash places and flush out the back
of the wheel well (spend at least a minute or so on each one to make sure
you've melted everything).  Ice builds up back there (with any car, really)
and causes what you describe.  I had this problem with my 03 Max once or
twice last winter.

One thing that's a good habit in winter is every night, take a small shovel
and clear out the muck that builds up on the back of all 4 wheel wells,
right behind the tire.  Preferably before it freezes.

I agree, its common.  Almost an everyday thing in the last week or two here
in Mass.

Also spinning tires in deep icy snow can knock off a balance weight...
