<VV> Tire Question

I recently purchased a "parts" car that had a set of nearly new tires on
it. I had them inspected, remounted (white walls out), and balanced by
the local Cooper dealer (the tires are Cooper). The tire shop put a
note on the work order that says "wheels and tires are out of round.
Will vibrate". They are correct -- there is a vibration. I have made
the leap to conclude that sitting for a couple of years without moving
caused the "out of round" condition. My question is - will driving the
car eliminate the out of round condition? My options are to have the
tires "shaved" to make them round again, or toss them and go back to my
mag wheels and tires, or ????? Thoughts from the gurus would be
welcomed.
