Trip to Florida, ruined back treads

Well, I drove down to Orlando for some much needed vacation. On the 8 hour drive from Tennessee, my back tires wore down to the metal. So I had a pepboys down here order some new treads, and they are being installed tomorrow. Looks like the alignment is off, becuase they are only worn on the inside. Anyway, 615$ later, 2 brand new Michelin sport pilot 265/35 zr 18's. And also the alignment is being corrected. I guess this would explain why on the way down when I was keeping up with a brand new boxster going 110 there was a lot of road noise and vibration.

Anyway, the tires weren't looking so hot to start with so I am not to bummed. Florida is beautiful, and Epcot was interesting ( I have never been to any of the parks, and the wife insisted I go.)
This is the view right out of our condo door



And here is the very unsafe tires
