yeah they could if they are warped bad enough to the point that they are catching on the brake pads pretty hard

Tires could be out of balance.

there's lots of things that could cause vibration during normal cruising, which is why it's a bit difficult to find the cause (or causes).

badly warped rotors
tires not balanced (weights may have come off)
tires with flat spots/bubbles
bent rim(s)
bent driveshaft
bad u-joints
bad wheel bearings
worn out ball joints
worn out control arm bushings
worn out tie rods
worn steering rack

i'm sure there are still at least a couple things that can contribute to vibration when cruising, but that's all i can think of right off the top of my head....anyone think of anything else?

Yeah i was going to ask the same question. I just got new tires on less that 1000miles ago they ran fine no issues 100+. However now i just started to notice that i get a good vibration when i am cursing and when i step on the breaks it gets some what worse.

You might have bad rotors if it does it when you lay on the brakes and stop that cursing,LOL.
