Need a bit more info to even guess. Auto/standard trans? Does it feel like engine, trans, or a wheel type thing?

More info is always helpful, How old are You're tires ?
Did this problem just recently begin ?
Anyway, being winter and that city snowplows are lovingly tearing chunks of asphalt out of the road, You MAY have simply tossed a tire whieght or are seeing the begining of a tire being comprimised (a caseing problem). Either way-the best thing to do first is, take You're (Toyota? or land Rover ?) vehicle to a service station and have the tires inspected and rebalanced and check the pressure to be all ok. it's never a bad idea to have You're tires rebalanced and rotated once in a while anyway, just basic maintenance. At worst, and I mean worst and probably very unlikely (is You're vehicle 2 or 4 wheel drive ?) You may have a bearing going. But again very unlikely, But that can also be checked when the tires are being rotated and the brakes checked. But a bearing would usually be felt through more of a range and probably accompanied by a new noise.
Good luck and happy motoring.
