Recently my L39 when I drive down the parking lot from my storage area in back has what feels like you are going over a bump but it happens every time one of the rear tires rotates. I don't see anything obviously wrong. It did sit for a little without being used so I thought maybe it was just because it sat in the same position for a bit, but then I aired it up and drove it around and it hasn't stopped. I left it sitting for a few weeks again in a different location and what would be a different position also on and when I drove it a couple of days ago it still felt the same. Again, I can't see anything noticeable. Any ideas?
Wheel/Tire weird bump or something

Yes, tyres get flat spots when they sit for ages.
My experience is that it gets better over time, but never really 100%. Maximum pressure helps when storing for a long time. Or move the vehicle a few feet every few weeks.

The conventional way of checking tires for flat spots or separation is to jack wheel a few inches off the ground, place a fixed object off to one side 1/2" from tread then slowly rotate tire by hand to see if 1/2" gap changes.
