Default tire is jumping = new tire?

one of my wheels is slightly bent, and i have some vibration. that same tire(245/35/20) is jumping when the car is on the lift and feel it with hand. i need to go fix my wheels, but my question is do i need a new tire also? is the tire no good? the tire still has plenty of tread, no bulge on the side or anything. thx.

I would guess it is the bent wheel, and the tire is bulging slightly on the bent part. Probably the tire is fine.

Worst case scenario, you get the bent wheel fixed and the tire is still causing a slight vibration. Then you get a new tire to remedy the uneven tire wear from the bent wheel. But the tire isnt going to be unusable.
