Thanks everyone. Rears are already replaced, so I have no choice but replace the fronts now too. The backs were 3/32 and had several nails, which one tire wasn't repairable. This was my first set and I remember when you floored it from 0, it would have enough gripping to keep it from losing traction and the yellow light come on. That changed, I don't remember when but it seemed like early on.

Not a good idea at all The handling differences between the front and rear tires could put the OP in a situation that could prove disastrous. It's not about saving a couple of bucks, it's about saving his life

I have 26K on my OEM tires, no TVD, the rears are at 4/32s and it's time, going in this week as a matter of fact.

however it doesn't have anything to do with the TVD. the driving wheels of a vehicle will always wear faster than the non-driving wheels, in FWD cars the fronts typically wear faster than the rears, and in RWD cars the rears wear faster, the problem with a staggered setup is you can not rotate the tires front to back to balance the wear..

of the 30 odd cars I have owned in the last 40 years the only vehicles that had tires that wore evenly where the cars that had AWD or 4WD and/or matched sets that could be rotated.. my last 4 cars have had staggered setups and the rears have always wore faster than the fronts.

driving style and the roads you drive are also huge factors in tire wear.. stop and go traffic and crappy, bumpy, pot hole riddled roads will wear out tires faster than lots of highway driving on flat even roads.
