On Tire Wear

My rear tires always wear faster than my front (Potenzas did it, and now BFG KDW2s). Just wondering if I'm abnormal, or what. How do your tires wear?

"yes" rear tires will wear MUCH faster then ur front. usually people rotate there tires every so often to keep the balance on how much thread they have left. cause you wouldnt want thread on the rear and not the front. you would rather have them in the front. mostly u would wear tires when "peeling" out. driving a lot faster in the conditions. hard cornering. will wear the tires out much faster. in any case. no matter what. your rear will always wear faster.

Thanks. Dealer didn't want to rotate because the "better" tires were already on the front, but I made them do it anyway while citing my history of wearing out the rear first.
