I may have spoken too soon. When the tires were mounted, the TPMS read 35 psi all around. 3 hours later, one of the front tires read 31. Now, maybe I was so excited I didnt actually check the psi and assumed it was 35 when walmart installed it. I took the car and filled air in that tire. Tommorrow morning i'll know. Is it possible these guys at walmart punctured something while installing it? Do they check for leaks before installing a new tire? Or could the tire have been damaged while it was shipped? I really hope I dont have to take it in tomorrow again.

No, they screwed up. It was at 23 psi this morning. I took it back to walmart, the (different) tech looked at it and said last night's tech forgot to tighten a valve stem. Anyway, hopefully things are good now and will stay that way.

I bought tires from discounttiredirect.com, NOT discounttire.com. The former site only sells tires, and then you have them installed, which I had done at walmart today ($22, 10 to mount, 10 for TPMS fee).
A huge world of difference driving back from walmart. It feels so much more smoother than the tires I had (which goes to show how much in bad shape the old ones were). Thanks again everyone for all the help!
