F25 2.0d SE Tyre life.

[mac110808]

Hi, can anyone tell me the sort of rear tyre mileage they are getting from their F25? I'm currently in a dispute with the local main dealer after a brand new set of rears were destroyed (through to the canvas!) on the inside edge after 12000 miles of relaxed driving. I say there has been a fault with the wheel alignment since the car was bought used a year earlier but the service manager tells me this is perfectly normal for an F25 X3 and wants me to pay £90 for an alignment check. Tyres are Pirelli Cinturato 225/60/R17 RFT's. Your replies may give me some ammunition for the next confrontation with the dealer. Thanks.

F25 3.0d m sport -  just done 5000 miles and the tyres look like new in terms of wear.  Cannot imagine having to change them in 7k miles from now (pirelli P zero rft)
