The shop you took it to may not have balanced them properly. Also could be the wheels are not torqued correctly. Be sure to watch next time.
If wheels aren't balanced they'll vibrate when they're rotating at speed. This can be unpleasant and can even increase wear on tires and suspension.
Yes.
1 out of balance front wheels or tires when were they last checked 2 out of round front tires do u hit a lot of potholes 3 worn cv joints does it sound like your engine is knockin while turning and at high speeds?? 4 The motor mount is unlikely but a possibility but what is being described seems more like worn cv joints
Tires and/or wheels out of balance?
Technically speaking the tires do not require alignment. It is the wheels and their axles that are aligned. The reason is that the attachment points for the axles are constantly moving and incur wear. In addition, the axle's supports can be bent by the vehicle hitting a pothole or striking a curb. The resulting misalignment causes the wheels and tires to not track properly (all point in the same direction). This causes the tire to scuff as it travels over the road. This scuffing wears out the tire prematurely and increases the misalignment. So the simple answer as to why wheels/tires should be aligned is to save the tires from being worn out before their time.
Yes, they there are. For stock wheels and tires go to www.TheProwlerStore.com or call them at 352 688 8160 M-F.
Tires and/or wheels may be out of balance
Assuming you have stock wheels + tires, you need 4 struts, and keep your tires between 28 and 32psi. If by chance you Upgraded your wheels with 50 series tires, and wheels, happy stiff ride.

Tires and/or wheels out of balance or bent? Rotor warped?
This depends on whether or not your wheels are staggered (the front and rear wheels are different sizes). On some years of Corvette all four wheels were the same size, and on some they weren't. For example, I can't rotate the tires on my 95 Corvette because the rear tires are wider than the ones in front.If your tires are different sizes from front to rear but wearing unevenly, an option would be to swap the tires from left to right, keeping them on the same end of the car (ex. right rear to left rear). However, it is very important to note that if your wheels or tires are unidirectional (side specific) or have an asymmetrical tread pattern (the tread changes as it moves across the tire), you won't be able to swap your tires.Also, moving tires from one side to another isn't generally considered rotation. After all, the point of rotating tires and keeping them on the same side of the car is due to the fact that tires develop wear patterns based on your suspension and alignment.Check the tire size for your year Corvette. If all of your tires are the same size, you can rotate them. If they are different sizes but you feel that uneven wear needs to be addressed, consult a mechanic you trust to discuss options.
