Default On LS460...do front or rear tires wear faster?

I recently bought a 2008 LS460. The front and rear tires are different brands. The front have more tread on them.

I'm just curious....I know on different cars the front or rear wear faster. How about on the LS460? Front or Rear? I don't want to rotate if the front wear faster.

Generally with RWD cars the rears are going to go first if not rotated. I am assuming the car is on stock wheels and you can rotate. My set up doesnt allow me to do that

Unless you are shutting off the traction control and doing peel-outs, the fronts will wear a little faster than the rears. The extra weight and the added stress of cornering is what does it.
