Eats rear tyres for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the dealer does not give a hoot about it !

Purchased new from Arnold Clark Mazda in Aberdeen in April 2008 (that was my first mistake; this is probably the worst car dealership I have ever had the misfortune to deal with in 25 years of driving); sales manager assured me the rear tyre problem had been fixed on the "new model"... really?

14 months and 16000 miles later two rear tyres completely shredded on the inner edges (down to steel banding) and front on the way out: back to dealer and the tracking was "fixed" under warranty (but they did not reimburse me for the tyres). 12 months and 17000 miles later back tyres completely shredded again on inner edge again. Back to AC to complain and get fault fixed as vehicle still under warranty but they claimed it was not a warranty problem so charged me best part of £250 for two new tyres and tracking re-alignment again.
