The simple fact that the front tires turn left to right while parking and such make them prone to wear faster, thats why under normal circumstances your supposed to rotate your tires. People who have staggard wheels obvioulsy cant rotate, so unless your doing burnouts? the front tires are supposed to wear sooner.

You'd have to do a lot of turning for that to happen. The drive wheels usually wear faster because it's being subjected to more friction. The front wheels in in our car are basically just rolling and don't generate as much friction unless it's turning, like you said. But if you think about it, you don't make turns as much as you do accelerating... maybe in an autocross, but even then they would more likely wear "closer" to same amount.

It's all how you drive. If you attack corners a lot the fronts will wear faster, if you like smoky burnouts your rears will wear faster. I do a lot of auto-cross so my fronts wear out twice as fast.
