Most Tire Wear in the front or rear?

My truck is 5 years and 9 months old with 54,000 miles on it. The tires are the stock original tires. 20" rims.

 

I don't haul anything, and don't race around on it. I am real easy on the brakes also.

 

Both the rear tire depth is 9/32, while the front has 7/32 and the other is 6/32. Now these measurements were not taken at the wear bars, but just at random areas on the tires.

 

I rotate them every oil change but was wondering, does the front or the rear get the most wear.

 

i wanted to have the rear tires that now have the most tread where it will cause the tread wear to even out among the four.

Rears should wear faster. I usually rotate only when rears wear down more than front. Rotation intervals shorter with new tires and spaced farther and farther out as tires wear down. I tend to notice the passenger side rear wears fastest.

 

Pay attention to front wear paterns. Uneven wear across the tread of a tire usually means alignment is needed.
