Mine does the same thing. I am thinking it may be the rotors. I plan to check it out this weekend.

your wheels may not be balanced.
Could be a wheel bearing
Could be a wheel stud (check to make sure they arnt coming off)
etc

This will cause vibration and shaking. If it continues after new tires and balance, then rotors might need to be "turned".

Why would you balance bad wheels for?

Your brake rotors are warped.
You might get lucky and be able to have them turned, otherwise they will need to be replaced.
