If you are sure it's not rotors, you might have a small flat spot on the tire that is noticeable on heavy load.
You can have the rotors "turned". They essentially shave them to be uniform again. The likely cause is that you had uneven brake cooling which caused the pad wear. Make sure you are properly bringing the pads to temp and doing a cool down lap too.
