The two rear tires are fine. The dealer said becase I didn't rotate them enough. I find this unlikely after only 15000 miles. I replaced the two tires and have since rotated them twice and at 19000 they are goingt bald again. What's wrong with this car?

The check engine light is your car telling you that there is something wrong with your car. If you are no longer under warranty, then I'd suggest going to a local Autozone or similar auto parts store to have the OBD-II error codes read. (Such stores will read the codes for free, in the hope that perhaps you'll use them to buy the parts to fix the problem.) Once you know what the problem is, you can fix it. The error code could be for something simple like your gas cap wasn't seated properly, or it could be a warning that your engine or transmission is about to die if you keep driving on it... If something simple, you can also have the stored codes deleted (thereby turning off the check engine light). Drive around a bit with the light off, and if the problem comes back, it'll relight the check engine light, if not, you're ok. Driving around is not what resets the check engine light... Some cars, if a transient and not major problem, after 3-4 restarts and the problem doesn't reoccur the light will go out on its own. Note that if you have the codes deleted, or you decide to disconnect the 12v battery for a few minutes to clear the codes, that the car's computer(s) will note that the computers are not ready. You usually need to drive around for another 200 miles or so before the car will be ready again. This is important to know if you are just trying to get rid of the light for a state safety/emissions test.

And how much smoke do the tires make while doing burnouts? Oh I forgot with 120 hp you might not be able to burn out! Even wear across the tire or inside wear or outside wear from wrong tire pressures. Pressures are Key to get mileage out of tires. The tire pressures listed on the door Jamb and owners hand book. Not the maximum load pressure on the side wall of the tire. And how come no one else complains about tire wear on Toyota Corolla's? Could not be drivers error could it?

It's front wheel drive. Get used to it. All the driving force and steering are done with the front wheels, so that's where most of the wear is going to occur. The back wheels just hold up the back end of the car and provide a little (very little) braking force, so there's very little wear. Next time get a rear wheel drive car. Meanwhile, get the front end aligned, get Michelin tires, and stop complaining.... you get what you pay for. Welcome to the school of hard knocks.

could need a frontend alignment. How much did you spend on those tires.
