    So the internet seems to have mixed results on this. Do tundra tires wear quicker in the front or back? Assuming your not hauling or towing. Is it the drive wheels (rear) or turning/braking wheels (front) that take more wear and tear?

    I mean, I've had mine rotated every 6K on the dot, and both sets of tires I've had so far (Michelin LTX AT/2's and Yokohama Geolandars) have worn fantastic. I'd think the rear would wear a bit quicker than the front, but that hasn't been my experience, personally.

    Tears overall, but I scrub the shoulders more on the fronts in the corners.

    Are you doing the front to back same side? I'm alternating side to side with front to back every 5K and at 18K all tires are wearing equally. I do run higher pressures. 38 ft and 41 rear towing or not.

    Yep, I do the same thing you do, alternating side to side front-back.
