Which tires wear faster?
Took my GS 450H into the dealer for the 25K service and they rotated the tires for me. I noticed that there is quite a bit more tread on the rear than the front now. Since I used to drive FWD cars before, I wasn't sure what to make of that and asked the dealer if it's normal to put the tires with more wear on the rear and was told because the car is RWD the rears wear quicker.
Has everyone else experienced their rear tires wearing quicker than their fronts? Just wanted to be sure since I haven't had the car long enough to be sure.

Kcook,
Knowing this should make the more frequent purchase of tires less of a surprise. Ironically, I know people who have staggered setups who are blown away when their rubber wears out long before they thought it should, and are faced with significant replacement costs. Friends with Corvettes readily come to mind.
