I've always found that the fronts wear out about 2 to 1 for the rear (two sets of fronts per one set of rear).

If you drive hard, it's not uncommon for the rears to wear first due to traction and stability controls coming into play. Often the rears are being applied while the power may still be on.

Cheers.

i don't drive too hard...i do the occasional highway speed bursts up to 90 but nothin too major...i'm guessing the guy that owned it before me drove it like he stole it 24/7 because when i took delivery, the dealer filled it halfway and it said 75 miles to empty lol
