Same for me too, and I have used Bridgestone A41s, Michelin PR4 and PR5s and now Continental TA3s on my S10 and they have all been 2 rears to 1 front.
You guys wearing the front tire more than the rears?

Are you using it in MotoGP or WorldSBK ? you probably need lots of front brake to compensate for 100-0 stops coming up driveway. You need a tire sponsor call Dunlop

I have a Metzeler Tourance Rear that is now seen a Metzeler Tourance Front (12k km) and a Bridgestone A41 Front (10k and counting but wearing out fast) and it still has maybe another 5k of life in it. Mostly communting on city and suburb roads. I do notice if I were cruising on highways, the Metzeler rear tends to flat out pretty quick while commuting with slower speeds, the wear rate is really slow.
Will never use Bridgestone A41 front. Doesn't last.

my rear tyre goes long before the front one

My wife reminds me of this every couple of days.

My ’22 BMW R1250GS came with A41 tires and the front was done at 6000 miles……the rear made it to 7300 miles. I won’t be using them again.

Had A41s on both my S10 and GSA. Both ran 2 fronts to 1 rear.
GSA now on TA3s and seem to be wearing well
Just put a new A41 on the S10 because the rear was hardly worn but I'll change brands (probably TC3's as I'm impressed so far on the GSA) when I next need a pair.

My S10 ran on Bridgestone A41s, Michelin PR4s and PR5s and Continental TA3s, and each set of tyres gave me 2 fronts to 1 rear and to be honest, each of these three tyres had different characteristics but I would happily fit any of them to any bike of mine at any time.

The original Bridgestones, there was no way I was going to replace just the rear and prolong their use any longer . 6k they both came off into the Bin.
Then a pair of Conti Trail3s, first rear did 6k with a bit left before a trip necessatated a second rear which did much the same before another trip. Front had done 12k, looked aweful but rode fine.
Fitted a pair of original Tourances for the next trip, at 6k the fronts almost worn out, the rears still got a few mil left.
Back to the Trail Attacks Soon.

Fronts go before rear for me. AT41 front has worn in 6300 miles in an annoying way. Shoulders gone leaving the centre tread forming a ridge , handles awful. Rear has life left but both going. Bikes in next week for TA3’s and valves.
