Correct answer
The rear may wear faster because of driving forces, although wear depends on use and other factors.
The rear tyre may wear faster because it transmits driving force, but this is not a universal rule. Wear also depends on tyre model and compound, pressure, load, acceleration, braking, route and use. Forward load transfer under braking does not prove that the front tyre always wears faster. Inspect both and follow the manufacturer’s pressure and replacement guidance.
