pulsing when braking

Just had 4 new tire installed and alignment done, still getting the ABS light, and a pulsing when braking, like a tire is out of round, but drives nice at all speeds with no pulsing

Are your rotors warped? Have you checked to see if you have a failing abs sensor?

I'm not sure if you were posting a question or a statement, but if it rides fine and only pulses when braking, you should be looking into the brake system.

No vehicle information so there isnt a whole lot to go on but my experience with simular issues is 1 warped front rotors caused by 2 non functioning or barely functioning rear brakes. Usually the rears are drum and they stopped self adjusting.

pulsing when braking is usually caused by warped rotors.

warped rotors. the abs light is due to the abs pump being out
