Default Vibration/shake only at 40 mph?

Kind of a weird problem.. I can literally tell when I am going 40 mph because my car has a decent amount of vibration/shake going on.. I am thinking its just tires, but is there anything else I should look at? I took a hard corner yesterday going 40 and the shake was definitely not cool, got a little worse when applied the brakes.

Thanks

I'm thinking a tire balance issue.

Had the same issue....turns out I lost a wheel weight. A wheel balance is the cheapest first check I would make....
