Yeah sorry I had meant to put my car specs in my first post! It's a 2007 Camry XLE, and had Michelin Energy tires. I was kind of shocked that they were gone after 30,000 miles too.

This is my fiance's car, and now that I'm marrying this girl, I guess that means i'm marrying her car too. She said she did her best to keep the tires rotated. I'm a nazi (hope nobody is offended by that word) about maintanence and repair and have been working on trucks since i was kid and am a licensed engineer, so lay on the technical lingo if needed.

Something I forgot to add and is very important was that I really noticed sluggish acceleration when i was driving to the get the alignment done (I agree on the increased rolling resistance) AS WELL AS after the alignment.

Is this REALLY just the tire?
