After a bust up with the dealer I took the car to my local Kwik Fit who inspected the tyres. Indeed 2 rears were as bad as they said but fronts were worn but OK. My tyres are Continental Contisport Contact 3, 245/50R18 100Y run flats. Kwik Fit are fitting 2 new Pirelli P Zeros tomorrow costing me £460.00 for the pair but at least I might get more miles out of these!
During my bust up with the dealer I got the same responce as you that they had never seen this problem before. They ofered to check my car over for wheel allignment for £120 but only after I had new tyres fitted! Considering what I've read this is obviously not an isolated incident and I would appreciate any additional information you may have as I'm not inclined to let this lie.
