I agree that it sounds more like a misaligned wheel or bent rim than anything else. Of course, it's possible that it's only a poorly seated tire, which would be great news for the OP. But riding a wheel for any distance with a flat is usually death on the rim. The test is to spin the wheel and watch the rim at the brake shoes (or a fixed reference if you have disc brakes) and see id the rim runs true or not.
