High tyre wear on a Rio

I own a 2012 Kia Rio sedan that has just been serviced at 23,693km and I've been told that I require new tyres all around. When I contacted Kia I was told that the tyres should be rotated at every service. This was done. Kia also referred to the usual causes of tyre wear: tyre pressure, driving style etc. My tyre centre told me that the tyres supplied with the car from the factory were low grade. I would like to hear your opinion as to steps, if any, I can take through Kia motors.

It's likely to have Nexen tyres, which are the poorest of the Korean tyres we have tested. In that case, the wear is down to poor quality tyres. You will get nowhere with Kia as tyres are always wear-and-tear items and outside warranty.
