Default Problem - advice needed !

I need your advice,
I own new Audi A4 2002, quattro running Michelin Pilot Sport Primacy 235/45/ 17". I have about 10K miles on them. I am experiancing very annoying tire noice, I went to the dealer they did everthing including aligment, balancing, tire rotation. My tires were well mantained, balanced every 5K. Dealer mentioned that this Michelin tire developed feathers (feather edging, ???,) how can it be ?? what is causing it ?
Could the aligment be done improperly from the begining ?
What can I do in that case ?
How can such a good tire as Michelin be that bad ??
Especialy Pilot Primacy they are know for quietness and comfort.
Is the set of new tires the only option ?

Since tires are not covered under warranty, what can I do.
How can I address this issue ?

Prorate with a tire dealer and get new ones.

Yes, the tire has a warranty from Michelin. A tire store that deals in Michelin's can do it.
