Hi
I have an Air GT 21 wheels; I have noticed the front tire have worn out faster than the rear tires; see attached pic of tire tread depth at 5,000 miles v/s 24,672 miles. Any reason why this happens ? My predominant drive is on highways with either adaptive cruise or highway assist.

It appears that the majority of seats are occupied in the front row, while the rear seats remain vacant. Although there is a 150-pound difference in weight between the average person and the rear seat, this disparity is more pronounced in the long term due to the cumulative effects of sitting in the same position.
 
The are many factors that can affect tire wear. Just by being a staggered configuration on a 50/50 weight distribution car will contribute to the front tires wearing faster. The report didn’t mention abnormal tire wear so as long as the tire wear is not caused by alignment issues, this seems normal. On the upside, you only need to replace the front pair when they are done. ;)
