My college roomie spent a few years working at Tire America and taught me about cupped tires years ago. I am also anal retentive about keeping them properly inflated. I think the service guys were wrong. When I asked them why my car suddenly started making those noises in the middle of a road trip, they once again told me it must be my tires. I don't think they even considered my rotors. I plan on taking it up to another dealer soon.
