Default Strange Vibration

Ive noticed this for a while on my truck, but it dident do it all the time...

Lately, all of a sudden I have this strange vibration when im under 35 mph, but its strogest the slower I go. It feels alot like it did when I had a bad wheel bearing, but its not that... I have checked them for tightness and they only have 10,000 miles or so on them.
If I lightly put preasure on the brakes, or brake like normal the vibration goes away.
I have pretty severely warped rotors, and im thikning maybe the high point of the rotor is contacting the pad and just making a vibration.

Any ideas?

How's the alignment? If the alignment is off and you have bad tie rod ends, the tires might be swingin. Or a loose bolt on the suspension/steering, maybe?

It ended up being the pads were a little bit tall... by that I mean that the very top of the pad was the origional thickness, and the working area of the bad was worn down... I dont know if that makes since...

I ground that off, and the vibration is gone.
