Default Tire wear on 2015 Journey SXT model

The stock tires wore out around 18,000 miles or so. We put a set of Pirelli Tires with a 70,000 mile tread warranty, rotated them about twice (our fault) and they wore out around 21,000 miles or so (first set of Pirelli's purchased at discount tires). Second set of Pirelli's purchased at Tire Discount. This time we rotated the tires every 5,000 to 6,000 miles, balanced and an alignment done also. With the what we done the second time around, they still wore out around 22,000 miles. We are at a lost as what to do? No help from dealership where we purchased this. Going to try and call Chrysler next.

I'm at almost 40,000 on my factory tires. No issues. Do you you drive it hard?

my wife drives it daily and does not drive it hard. Road we drive on are paved with some concrete sections. the tires are wearing out evenly across the tires and running what ever the tire pressure says to.

My wife's 2012 is also eating up the tires. I took it to a local alignment shop and they said the engine cradle needs to be tweaked .25 degrees. You may have the same issue.
