Default Out of round slicks

OK, I've got a tire problem guys.
I had a flat on one of my rear slicks, they are 14.5 x 32's phoenix's
It went down to rim maybe three times total before I go it home and off the trailor last weekend.
I fixed the leak already ( small patch, tiny hole), I made 2 passes saturday night and it was bouncing like crazy in the burn-out box and down the track.
I aborted the idea of racing after it did the same thing in the 2nd TT.
While still at the track I jacked up the car, put it in drive to check a few things, I glanced over at the right rear tire and it looked like an egg rotating around on the rim.

This tire was fine before I had the flat, I've only got maybe 4 weekends on this set so I'm not real crazy about the idea of running out and buying a new one.

Today I removed the tire form the car and all the rim screws and aired the crap out of it (35psi) I'm just letting it sit with the air in there, its been cloudy here in memphis lately so if the sun comes tomorrow I'm gonna let it get good and hot and see if that helps too (My buddy Earl told me to do that).

Any other ideas?

Thx, Cp
