Yet ANOTHER Problem with my X...
Your alignment was out of wack causing the tires to wear early, specifically the toe setting. That can easily be fixed. Unfortunately tires are a wear item and you will have to buy a new set.
The rough idle may be due to something else, maybe the fuel pump is bad or one of the fuel injectors is clogged or the intake is clogged, or one of the lines is cut or has come undone, etc. If a flash did not work they should've checked something else. Sounds like the dealership mechanics aren't doing a thorough job.

I had same problem you did. I had problems with my seats after 100 miles on my X, idle issues after 100 miles, and my tires had the same issue with the inside eating up. My dealer took care the seats and reflash no problem since. I am one of the guys that had issues with the tire issue. Have another dealer double check your alignment and if its ok, Call Yokohama, since you have the advan line they have special tech support for you. 1-800-423-4544. they will work with you! nice sincere guys name is Scott. ext 3881.
Thanks bro! Thats what I was looking for
and for the record... I am pissed, but wouldn't trade my car for anything short of something that cost more than my house...
Man he is not in lemon las territory, the seat every one is having the problem, tires mmm try keeping an eye on them and get an aligment, or blance your tires, with proper tire rotation and the idle, just get a custome ecutek tune and your done.

np, just make sure you have your facts in order before you start pointing fingers. keep it professional and they will respect you ..and treat you like a person. it all works out for me. like someone said on this thread, it's not covered under bumper to bumper warranty, no car manufacture does. It's always the tire manufacture's responsibility.
My Advans where like yours after 10K miles, gone! This is standard on the stock Advans, everyone knows about it, the UTQG is 180 so they won't last long. Now for the guy saying that his lasted 31K, WTF! Not even all-season tires would last that long on an Evo!
I am getting really tired of this, and I am losing all patience and respect for Mitsubishi... Not only have the 3 reflashes not stopped the bad idle problem, my Recaro seats STILL havent been fixed, and now another problem...
The inside of my front tires are worn through the belts! The outside of the tires are fine, the rear tires are fine, but the inside of the front tires are gone. The dealer hasn't even seen it and already told me that I have to buy new tires. "tires are wear items" they said... 11K miles and near tire failure??? BULL****.
Have any advice?

Welcome to Mitsubishi. Have a nice day.
And as an asside, dunno what tires are on the X, but my VIII's Advans lasted 8k miles with two autocross events and normal spirited driving, they were all corded evenly.
It sounds like an alignment issue, but what it REALLY sounds like is that Mitsu actually did something right for once: your alignment is setup with some negative camber in the front, so that when driven hard the full tire contacts the ground. After I did suspension and aligned my car for the track my inside on the street tires would wear out like crazy.
And
At AWDNinja's, "sti?"

ok... you're a *****
, but you are from jersey, so what more could we expect?to everyone else... the alignment was checked, and they say its fine.... but wouldnt give me a printout.... it may be fine now, but it definitely wasnt before. I'm working with Yokohama and will be calling mitsu monday, seeing as how this dealership has been caught doing similar things in the past.
Why are you guys telling this guy to file a lemon law suit? Has anyone here EVER gotten one on an Evo? And if so, it had to have MAJOR issues.
THERE IS NO WAY THIS GUY WILL GET A LEMON LAW!!
Anyone want to bet with me?? Come on all you guys saying he should lemon law it....send me some PM's with your bets.
I will be glad to take that cash off your hands.
