Do you find your front tyres wear very rapidly carrying a heavy load?

I heard the fiat doblo goes through front tyres quickly. I have the old shape dispatch and my first set of front tyres lasted about 32.000 miles. May have lasted a bit longer if I had checked tyre pressure a bit more often.

  Mine seem to as well, but then again I seem to wear tyres quickly on everything I drive/ride.
  I have been known to finish a set of motorcycle tyres on one trackday and at £200/pair I have now stopped eoing trackdays!

You stopping was not down to tyre wear, it was down to gravel rash.  ;D

Front Tyres usually wear a lot quicker then rear tyres, but can't say they wear rapidly. What tyres are on your van?

yes eco, but have you considered the amount of wear you encounter when reversing?

I got 20k from Continentals (lovely tyres!) but 12k so far from good years and they look brand new!

I always find that the drive axle tyres wear quickly carrying heavy loads. No matter where the drive axle is situated.
