Which tires wear faster front or back?
However, due to a front-wheel drive vehicle’s front tires’ responsibility for transmitting acceleration, steering and most of the braking forces, it’s normal for them to wear faster than rear tires. Therefore, if the tires aren’t rotated on a regular basis, tires will typically wear out in pairs rather than in sets.
