Default I have a slight shimmy upon stopping...

I don't think it is warpped rotors, because the shimmy is not present under heavy breaking or normal breaking. It only happens between 5mph and stop.

Could it just be the P-Sport radials???

Default I had the same thing happen....

It was from me washing my wheels after driving the car and not letting the brakes cool. The pads strated rusting and I took the car into my dealership. They sanded the pads and rotors, and problem was fixed. You will be able to see the slight brown discoloration on the pad if you look where it comes in contact with the rotor.
