Rotors/pads replaced the other day, vibration when braking today

When I braked from 60mph a few minutes ago, I noticed a vibration in the wheel just like warped rotors - but they were JUST replaced (pads AND rotors) less than a week ago. What could cause this? Tires?

They were replaced under warranty, so I guess stock rotors and pads.

Check your caliper pistons and pins, make sure they move freely.

Does it do it every time you brake now? or was it just random? There could have been a slight glazing that stuck to the rotor from being hot and parked that caused it?
