Do front tires of tacomas or rear tires wear faster?

Do tacomas front tires or rear tires wear faster?

 

Usually rears wear faster unless your alignment is borked.

Depends on where you drive and what else is in/on the truck.

 

Not with regular rotation at 5,000 miles

 

Rear. It is rear wheel drive. That is where the force goes accelerating.
RWD vehicles wear the rear first.

Cars that wear front tires have engine weight forward and are front-biased drivetrain cornered harder.

if you are not sure
Take a $3 gauge. Measure your tires.

 

Front, if you turn a lot. Rear if you burnout a lot. Just rotate now & then.

 

I'll add some context here for those that might have missed it

LOL, I didn't miss it Chewy. I would never replace 3 tires to fix 1. That's just silly

 

Depends on how you drive really.
Like a grandpa - Bout even.
Lots of loads the rear.
Smokey burn outs - rear.
Harsh cornering at speed - front.
Failure to negotiate a corner at speed - wear shifts to the roof.

1 vote for the front

 

That's how I drive too.

 

i can’t understand how OP couldn’t answer the question themselves lmao

 

Rotation evert 5-6k and they will wear evenly. Proper inflation and alignment.

 

Fronts always wear faster from turning. Drivers front a little more than passenger front as the drivers side has more weight on it. Rear tires will wear excessively fast if you're constantly towing or breaking the tires loose. I rotate every 5k. There's a few pattern options for rotating depending upon vehicle driveline type. For the tacoma I do front to back, back to front.

 

Front wear faster. Yes it's a RWD truck but steering and front end weight play a much bigger role.

 

Thank you for this thread. Reminded me to rotate my tires today. My Michelin LTX Defenders are wearing nicely and forgiving since I am over 5K since rotating.

 

My new Toyos are definitely wearing in the rear much quicker than the front. No burnouts, though some hard acceleration. I have done a lot of intentional very hard braking and cornering and it took forever and lots of that to get the little spikes to start to go away up front. Meanwhile they were gone in the rear after not much time at all.

I’d say RWD wears the rear out more quickly, at least in my experience.

 

As a wild guess I'd say rear will wear faster on a Tacoma. With that said I've owned many Front wheel drive cars and those definitely wear the fronts faster. Much faster.
