If you have had a vibration since day one and just got new tires, I would suspect that those wheels are bent. But either way steering wheel vibrations are normally from a tire/wheel out of balance.

vibration while braking at high speeds is a warped rotor. Usually the front rotors. The rear brakes can get warped rotors too, they are just harder to diagnose, depending on how the parking brake is setup.
More proof we shouldn't believe everything we read on the internet.

^^ Are you saying that I am wrong and that wheel bearings, alignments, loose tie rods and ball joints, and worn bushings cause vibrations?

That's fine, just continue spending hundreds/thousands of dollars replacing every steering/suspension component on the vehicle and pray that it fixes it.

I would think a bad bearing would also contribute a lot to that. How did you replace the bearing for $100? Inside deal?
