Default flat tyre feeling

When moving off either forward or reverse. It feels like rear tyres are flat with how it feels and sounds. Like small bumps. Any ideas people?
Thanks in advance.

If you have a newage it's more likely to be the rear shocks

Does it feel like your wheels are a 50p shape but only does it at low speed I.e rolling ?

I think it's the shocks but you need to get it confirmed

Swap tyres front to rear, see if the problem moves to the front.

The steel/nylon bands inside the tyre could have failed.

If it does turn out to be the tyres, please don't fit chinese made tyres on your car. Its a Impreza; A car thats supposed to be good in the wet/poor weather, tyres with the grip of teflon defeats the point of the AWD (unless you want to drift everywhere).
