Please help! Steering Wheel Shake Question

Hi guys.

When I'm braking at speeds over 60mph my steering wheel shakes. My two front tires have different wear. One has 80% remaining, the other is about 50%.

Could this be a cause, or it it more like to be brakes?

The same happened to me. I replaced the brake rotors, but you don't need to. Just remove and turn the rotors. If you do not know the term "turn the rotors", it is basically taking any warpness away by placing the rotor in a rotary machine with a a blade touching both rotor faces. As the rotor turns, the blades move from the outer edge to the inside and shaves the rotor untill the outside and inside faces are parallel to each other. You can take them to a shop or a store like Checkers or Oreillys to get it done.
