You said that you had the problem with the steering wheel before, so did you solve it that time with doing alignment:confused: It is in fact always a good thing to do a wheel alignment after installing new tires. Let them also check if the tires are installed correctly on the rims. Did they do a wheel balance after replacing the tires:confused:
Regarding the shake when braking, that is most probably due to warped rotors. But didn´t they shake before with the old brake pads:confused:

warped rotors. But didn´t they shake before with the old brake pads:confused:
Mine did the same thing at about the same speeds after I changed my brakes about 1 year ago. My rotors were still good so I didn't replace them. One of the pistons on the calipers cracked and caused it to drag on the rotor. Thus warping the rotor. But for some reason it would only shake (death wobble) if I applied brakes around 55 mph.

I noticed because I got out of the Jeep after driving and noticed an excessive amount of heat coming from the front passenger wheel well. Once I looked down at the brake rotor, I noticed it was discolored from heat.

If it started shaking after the brake change, this is where I would start.
