Default More wear on rears than fronts?

For most of my A4 1.8T MS's 24K miles I've noticed that the rear factory 8000SP's are wearing down *more* than the front ones! I am reluctant to rotate them, as all of my experience tells me that the front tires should wear down faster.

What's the deal here?

I have about 32,000 on my 99 1.8tqm. I am experiencing the opposite. Front tires are near bald and need replacing while rears have about 10K left on them.

Your experience is what I'd expect on my car too, especially if no tire rotation was performed. However, my tire wear is counter-intuitively the opposite.

BTW, I've got < 25K miles on my 98.5 (delivery 7/98). You must drive your A4 quite a bit!
