Default step on brake/ steering wheel vibrates

02 ss 13,000 miles. seems like when i depress the brake lightly i get a vibration in the steering wheel. i press a little harder and its not as bad. im thinking the rotors are warped. tires are newer, drag radials in back 315s. but car has sat at times for 3months maybe their flat spotted. wanted to get a few opinions. im thinking of just ordering a set of rotors and pads from strano. original pads and rotors look okay but are 10 plus years old.

Warped rotors. $30 to have parts store turn them as long as they are still within min specs

Yes, warped rotors are a common problem. I had mine turned and they warped again in a few thousand miles. Buy some good quality rotors and be done with it.
