It's obvious that there is a problem with the car. This is not a defective tire issue. Also went to Yokahama and they insist not defective tire and wrote a letter for me. THEY were the ones who mentioned there is a bulletin on this problem, which was amazing to me as SUZUKI denying.
In order to get on with my life, and after having spent 2 days at Suzuki dealer and on phone, I finally paid $600 for 4 new tires yesterday (at 14K miles) and I can only pray that the rear ones don't go bald again.
I did put better tires on the car but Suzuki refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem with the car and rear tire wear. Blaming the owner is NOT a good idea, SUZUKI! You will regret this!
My rear tires had NO TREAD whatsoever. And we have saved both tires as expect to end up in court or class action...
Car is auto AWD. Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but may help to have.

AWD is actually better for your tires,it prevents traction loss.
You and the others have an alignment issue,probably do to a defect in the design of the car.
You might want to take the car to a personal service person and have them evaluate the alignment angles on your car.They can print up before and after alignment, and you can see how close to straight they can get it.If they can't get it straight you have your proof.You will have to pay more money.But this will help in establishing your own proof of a defect in the design of the car,and not in the tires.
