On a FWD vehicle, does it makes sense if the rear tires wear faster than the front?

I bought a brand new set of falken ziex 512 last october and put 10k miles on it. The treadwear indicator on the front tires is almost at the 25% worn(i can see the cicle a lil bit) and on the rears i can only see the square part of the indicator.

Thanks

are your rear calipers sticking? excessive drag on the rear would cause them to wear faster.


if the calipers are sticking, gas mileage will go down correct? i even got 35mpg just this weekend so i dont think so.

on a fwd car the front tires wear faster then the rear.

check the toe-in on the back tires. get an alighnment.


i will get an alignment. how does the toe in affect the rear tire wear?
