the surface of your rotors could have been warped due to being wet right after the car is being driven. hot metal + water = warped which could case your brake pedal to vibrate when braking. warping is when the surface of the rotor has been damaged due to being hot and then having water splashed on to it which would cause the metal to have inperfections on the surface. so basically the face of the rotor is no longer smooth, so when you brake, that rough surface is hitting ur brake pads which is then causing the vibration you are feeling.

it doesnt take alot to set off the ABS..... when it feels the wheels slipping it will engage. take turns slower, and drive less recklessly.... if you werent doing either of those, new tires are a good start towards better traction
