Rear if you're spinning them, front if you're pushing thru the twisties and cornering very hard.

yup, depends how you drive it. I kill my fronts by running lots of negative camber and turning/braking hard, but the rears seem to last quite a while

If you don't rotate very frequently, you'll find out. Yes, my experience has been the back tires wear our faster.

Weird, I've always found my front tires wear faster, regardless of whether I'm driving FWD or RWD. Then again, I take it pretty easy on the street and run slicks on the rear of the stang at the track. If you're running equal sized non-directional tires on all four corners, then they should wear evenly (cough* rotate hint* hint*).

I wiped out my fronts pretty quickly with my negative camber.
