aleros_eat_rice is on a distinguished road
Doing burnouts can wear out your wheel bearings much faster than regular use. A friend of mine has found that out with his 2009 Buick Lacrosse. Did some burnouts and a hard launch or two, and now his car is doing something like what you're describing.

If the tires don't move for too long, they can develop flat spots. There are chocks that you can use during storage to prevent flat spotting.
