Weird feeling when taking off first, like a traction problem?

Hi all,

When I take off in first sometimes I think I have a bit of a traction issue. I can feel like something doesn’t want to grab. It’s hard to describe but I can sense something bumpy or on/off grabbing for lack of a better description. I don’t think it’s the clutch bc that’s been recently changed (valeo). Could it be the tires if they’re old/worn out too much? Could wheel bearings affect that? Thanks!
