Really hope you get this resolved with the new Michelins, they are my favorite tire brand.
There was absolutely no vibration, tracking issues or anything prior to the tyres wearing through. The only issue I had was the grinding of the tyres on full steering lock at low speed, which was (allegedly) due to the Ackermann steering geometry setup used on all 8-Series.

Its a strange one - I know !
If the tires were the issue you would have one of the two aforementioned issues. I have not experienced the f/e grinding you mention, is it widespread/common? Don't recall others experiencing it.
