I am having the same annoyance with the new Michelin’s. So it’s not the tires. If I modulate and “stab” the brakes… no vibration. I think the over-sized Sport Package calipers are too much for the “stock” Nissan Sport Package rotors. If I get the OEM rotors resurfaced, eventually they will just go bad again (I think they are moderately warped now. Question: What other brand or Nissan replacement sport rotors to you recommend for the Nissan Sport rotors? The Nissan Sport calipers seem fine, just too much for the stock rotors.
USE DBA5000 rotors with Ferrodo street performance pads. Best value for the money besides big brake conversion, but you must bed the pads in properly or else you might end up the same pad of having vibration,

If you to get new rotors, make sure to check if they are directional and mount them accordingly. I believe the OEM ones and Z1 (blank/slotted/slotted+drilled) are not directional but don't quote me on that.
