Wearing on tires

So i just bought some used 18" SVT Cobra wheels for my '01 GT. The front tires are 18x9 and the back ones are 18x10.5. Since i can't rotate the tires, how long will new tires last? Any of you guys with different size wheels feel free to comment.

It depends completely on the tire. Size doesn't effect the treadwear.

It was just a general question about having different size tires that you can't rotate. Do they last as long as the warranty says the tires will last? Basically, what is the difference of rotating tires and not rotating them? BTW the tires are falken and i have normal driving habits.

Expect the rears to wear faster no matter what, but with a street tire and what I would consider a "normal" Mustang driving habit to be, somewhere around 30,000 miles on the rear and and 35ish for the fronts. You didn't mention a tire model, only make, so I am basing this on the fact that you bought their "mid" range performance tire.
