Cooper Discoverer Crap

I have Cooper Discoverer CTS on my wifes Mercedes ML320. They have been on the car since 10/09. Approx. 24,000 miles on them and they've been rotated twice. The tread is almost to the wear bar. The dealer says that the warranty is void since they weren't rotated every 6,000 miles.

This is supposed to be a 70,000 tire. The rep. said they would prorate one tire and give me $20.00 off a $180.00 new tire. I would have to drive the vehicle approx. another 5k miles to get down to the wear bar and be subject to proration on the other three tires. Are they kidding me? Any reasonable person could see that these tires have worn prematurely and they want me to invest $600+ in another set. I think not. I'll pay more and go back to Michelin. They wore, handled and road much better. Coopers warranty is a joke.
