Update on steering wheel shake while braking

About a week ago I posted up a thread about my steering wheel shaking during light and medium braking. Several of you gave good insight and I went ahead and dropped of the Z at the dealership. They gave me a call back later during the day and attributed the shaking to 3 things,

1. Wheel bearing
2. Uneven wear on the rotors
3. Tire wear

So they are replacing the wheel bearing and resurfaced the rotors under warranty. As for the tires they said the rears were down to the wear bars and the fronts were choppy. (Whatever that means) They quoted me $1300 for new tires and to mount them. I'll just wait until I buy the RE-30's or RPF-1's and mount them on Toyo R888's. My driving style is very aggressive and I have many potholes in my area so that might have attributed to it. Just wanted to give you guys an update incase anyone else runs into a similar issue.
