Can you tell us if it's common for tires themselves to be out-of-round and causing vibration issues at high speeds? Or is it most often the rims?

My thought is that since the tire is filled with air, any imperfections with the rubber are smoothed out anyway, so it's likely the rim, spinning the weight of itself unevenly.
