Vim mixes up indent style when editing different files

I am using the nerdtree with some other plugins.

When I edit files with different indent settings (e.g. Makefile which requires tabs and *.js which should have spaces) then vim mixes up both and applies tabs to *.js.

The file type stuff is defined in these lines:

" use real tabs for these languages
autocmd FileType go,make
            \ set noexpandtab

" use two spaces for these languages
autocmd FileType ruby,html,json,jade,javascript
            \ set tabstop=2 |
            \ set shiftwidth=2

" use four spaces for these languages
autocmd FileType css
            \ set tabstop=4 |
            \ set shiftwidth=4

Any idea how to make vim to reapply autocmd Filetype when opening another tab in nerdtree?

You should use setlocal instead of set to prevent your settings from leaking to other buffers.
