VW Touareg Dunlop tyre problems
The guy from VW is correct, it is a big, heavy and powerful vehicle set up to handle like a sports car with big wheels and low-profile tyres, and aggressive wheel alignment. I have no doubt that the alignment has been checked and found to be within specification. You could perhaps go to an independent suspension specialist and have them attempt to adjust the alignment to give you better tyre life. You could buy smaller wheels and higher profile tyres, which are likely to improve your tyre life.

Were you given an explanation of what was causing the grinding noise? I can't believe it's normal for a car to have a grinding noise, so I would be pressing VW for an explanation that makes sense to you. It's also a good plan to get the car independently checked, as you are going to do.
