Not the tire. Likely some brake pad deposit on the rotor. You can try bedding the brakes couple times - very brisk braking from 60 mph down to 10 mph w/o engaging the ABS about 8-10 times then cool off the brake by driving around for 2-3 miles. Do not engage the e-brake or step on the brakes when you return home -just let the car 'roll" into the garage and park so you don't get more hot brake pad material on the rotor. You can drive the car normally after this exercise. Do this on a quiet back road so you don't get pull over for suspicion of DUI lol

Hope this take care of the shaking

try bedding the brakes. i didnt have your problem but i bedded my brakes anyways back when car was fresh off the boat. if issue still exist, take it to the dealer.
