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.
