Similar issues here on the S3.
First set of tyres (from factory) were Conti Sport Contact 2's. Gave them a cursory glance at 9k miles and it appeared I had about 5mm left on them. Car went in for service, and I was called by the dealer to say you need new front and rear tyres.
At this point I said, you must be joking, I checked them the other week and they had 5mm on them. When i arrived at the dealers they jacked the car up and showed me the inner edges of the tyres and they were almost down do the canvas.
I fitted 4 Mich Pilot Sport 2's afterwards, and whilst not the quietest tyre on earth they seemed fair. On some surfaces (the grey concrete type motorways), they were terrible.
Took all 4 tyres off at 15k, and because I had done pure motorway mileage at sensible speeds the rears were worn perfectly uniformly across the tyre. Therefore I have to assume the hooning about I was doing when car was new causes the tyre wear to be excessively inner edged.

lets not give in, enough names on a serious complaint to Seat may carry some weight
