Default Steering wheel vibration

My wife & I just drove our new (1450 miles) 2108 Corvette GS from Frederick, MD to Windsor, CO about 2000 miles. What a wonderful trip.
I noticed a vibration in the streering wheel that had a frequency of about 1 second. 1 second vibration and 1 second no vibration.
I am wondering if this is normal for the run flat tires or if I might need to have the wheels balanced. Most of the roads were in terrible shape with several pot holes that I could not miss. My speed was in the 75 mph range. Anyone have the same situation? Thanks.

NO, definitely not normal. You probably have a tire out of balance... or at least where to start looking. Otherwise, ENJOY!

Possible bent wheel, or balance issue.
