If in fact the tires were worn out evenly then that would indicate that there is nothing wrong with the car, the tires just "wore out". The fact that they wore out so quickly is more a function of the tire's composition and treadwear rating. Tire life is a trade-off. They can make tires that will last like iron (never wear out) but you give up something else like traction, or rain control, or speed rating. On race cars were traction is everything tires only last a couple of races. It is possible that the tires you had were made wrong. The dealer you bought them from would be the place to go if you can prove the mileage used and the wear pattern.
