Tire looks low, but pressure is 'right.'

Does it happen if you park the vehicle on level ground? I know I've had to do a double take a couple times while parked on a slight incline...but If the tire is in good shape, and properly inflated I wouldn't worry about it.

Yep, a pressure point will make it look odd. Similarly, a tyre can be as much as 15 or more PSI low, and not appear visually different to the other tyres. If the pressure is right, all good.

Up the pressure to 35psi or even 37psi, my mpg increased with 37psi also the sidewalls of the tire could be getting tired and weakening

Hmm you might be right about sidewalls.
Will start shopping around.

I recently changed over from the Michelin MXV 4's (06 3.0 now at 65,000 mi) that were on the car when I bought it, they still had a fair mount of tread but I was getting a "brrruuummp" sound on highway ramps and checking everything didn't come up with a cause...they were getting loud anyway.
The most important criteria for us here in FL was wet performance and noise, TIRE RACK's info is most helpful....we wound up with YOKOHAMA AVID ENVIGOR (255/55x18). These tires TRANSFORMED the vehicle, (now with 4000 miles on them) it is so quiet I can't stop talking about it and the brap sound is gone !! And they are reasonable...comparatively speaking.

Brap = car fart.
