tire wear Q's
 
I have a stock 5th gen and i wanted to ask about tire wear. I bought the car used with 50K on it and the tires that were on it were brand new. at about 68k i rotated the tires but i noticed the front tires were really worn down while the rear tires look barely used. Now i don't really do burn-outs so i don't think it's from that.
I have heard that prelude motors are pretty heavy so i can understand that they may wear the front tires more but there is a really big difference.
I was wondering if anyone else had experianced this as well or is it just me.

yeah the front tires are gonna wear faster, because they are the drive wheels. i generally rotate my tires every 10,000 miles or less, depending on how hard i drive, but obviously with a softer compound the wear discrepancies will be more pronounced.

mine or like shit
i just drive the hell outa them and then swap the rear ones up front
do the same thing again then swap out for 4 new ones
this style of driving costs too damn much
I just stop drivng so hard hehe

yeah i think that alot of the tire wear on the fron tires comes from hard cornering.
