I don't get how this extends the life of the tire. What you
save in wear on the back, you'll lose in wear on the front.
Also, the point of rotating tires is not just to make sure
one tire gets as much wear as another tire; it's also to
make sure that the entire surface of each tire gets worn
as evenly as possible. Tires on the front may get more wear
in one spot than tires on the back, and tires on the back
may get more wear in some other spot than tires on the front.
Rotating the tires ensures that each tire experiences a
variety of wear patterns and hopefully wears more evenly.
