    tyre wear???

    just bought set 4 wheels and tyres , 2 off nearly new 2 off abot 6mm tread depth. sounds daft but which end of landy wears tyres out first as i'll put the newer tyres on that end. ie a fwd car wears fronts and rears perish before they wear out how does a series 2a 109 pickup wear tyres?
