After driving 26k miles without rotating my stock MXV4 tires, my back and front tires had 1/8" and 5.5/8" tread depth remaining, respectively.
So it appears that the back tires on the M3 wear out twice as quickly as the front tires. In that case, can you simply replace the back tires (with the same model type of course)?
After replacing just the back tires, the front tires will still be at 5.5/8" depth and the back tires will be at a full 8/8" depth. Then keep driving without rotating tires. Now, both the front and rear tires should reach 2/8" around the same time. At this this point, simply replace all 4 tires.
What do you all think about this approach? (Excuse me - I'm not a mechanical engineer by training )
