It can usually be rectified quite easily by deflating the tyre and re inflating. Sometimes you need to add more bar/psi than you expect to "seat the tyre bead" correctly. Then adjust to normal pressure.
Also could be bent wheel? Spin it and look down it for trueness. May be loose spokes? Adjustment require if so.
Or........even a flat spot on the tyre from heavy braking and skidding.?

Thanks all!
No tire looks when spun okay but will check if its seated okay tomorrow and check the spokes. Chain clanking around I can feel it pretty full on! Brand new Honda so was hoping it could be the chainset (as it's totalled). Maybe even chain slipping over the sprocket or just the tight spot in the chain causing this? - but chain is plenty loose on sprockets at all points hmmm. Going to good mechanic in a few days time so will see go it goes after new chainset.
