    Could certainly be. Did you use OEM rotors? makes a huge difference. Does it shake up to the steering wheel? (typical sign of bad rotors). Could also be a sticking slide or piston in the calipers post brake job. Could also be your tires needing balancing, if you feel vibration just driving.

    Bunch of things to check off to narrow it down.

    (I'd say that it's most likely one of the tires has a belt shifted on the front left or right side of the vehicle but it's also likely to be a high runout one of those brake rotors. So, start with having the tires road-force balanced then go from there. It's easy to place the car on 4 jack-stands and remove both front wheels to check the runout on either of the front rotors)

    Starting to think bad wheel bearing, did the same with old tires, on big trucks bearing run out will do the same thing

    Verified it's not rotors? Torque down the lug bolts to proper spec? (over tightening can easily warp rotors). Never had a bad wheel bearing cause steering wheel shake under breaking
