tire problem - anyone else?

Just got back from my 22,500 mile service for my '02 TL-S, and had asked them to look into the cause of a mild to moderate shimmy. Their reply was that all four of my tires were out of round, meaning that they have worn unevenly across their circumference and are now oval shaped! They had no explanation as to what may have caused this, but did not believe that the car could be at fault. Given that it has happened to all four tires, I'm suspecting a manufacturing defect (I'll bet that the tires are from the same production lot). Has anyone else experienced this?? I imagine that I might have a fight on my hands with Michelin...

wait..do you mean across the width or diameter?
if its width
well it probably isnt alignment since its all 4 tires...im guessing they've been either over or under inflated...

I understand the spirit of the rule, but I don't think my posting was excessive nor does it warrant the abrasiveness of your reply.
