Try this number and ask for a technical representative. I last spoke to a guy there about 4 years ago about replacing Run Flats with conventional tyres and he could not have been more helpful.

Be positive and they help you.

Good luck. And let us know how you get on.  My previous MK5 came with tyres that bad at the point of viewing so I got them to replace them...they had only been on the car 3years from it being new and only 30,000 miles and this was the rears.  Loads of tread left as yours have but badly perished.

It's a manufacturing issue, however if they are good then they will send you a cheque and letter saying that the payment is not an admission of guilt or fault, but good will. (You will have t send them the tyres back along with a cover letter first though) my mum had the same issue with a set of bridgestones on her civic.. 2 year old car, 7k miles and were showing canvas in the grooves..
