Putting on 10,000 plus miles a year and not rotating front to back (or back
to front) as we run a more aggressive tread up front, we use two sets of
fronts to a set of rears. Logically, this makes sense as the fronts are
doing the pulling of the coach, most of the braking and the steering. For the
most part, in a front wheel drive setup, the backs are along just to hold up
the rear of the coach and do a small percentage of the braking.
However, if the rear is out of alignment, they will wear out a lot faster!
