Factory fit tires

Ive just had my GLA35 AMG service A. At TWELVE (12) months and 7200ks I have had to replace both front tires. I find this completely unacceptable for the fact that I have only done city driving and certainly have not put this car under any duress in terms of hard driving / cornering / braking etc. The factory fit Continentals apparently deemed as satisfactory for the ride / feel / performance for this series model may be one thing but in terms of maintenance at this rate I'll spend more on tires than what the car will be worth!! Has anyone experienced the same thing anywhere? Any submissions to MB? Any feedback from MB?

If you have done on 7200km on new fitted tires then it is not normal. How the tires were looking? Inner or outer wear? Damage?

Hey there Lucjan...normal is not the word, I've owned MB / BMW / Audi and never have I had such a poor wear run rate on any other tires.

This tires wear can be caused by many factors. Reason why I have asked about how tire wear was looking and where was mostly visible
