Really? So if you rotate your tires they don't wear out? Must be magic!
I never rotated tires on cars owned between 1980 and 2020, 40 years. . .
and I did 20K + miles per year. . .
The only result from rotation is even wear between front and back. . .
If you don't rotate, you don't buy 4 tires at once. . .
There is a wear ratio between front and back. . they wear out at different rates. you can't change that factor.
CoachK's all wheel drive got hit by lightning while parked in a tstorm. Blew out the sensors to keep the front and back tires rotating at the same RPMs. . . rear wheels wore out significantly faster, like 2x and got 35K on a 60K tire. . also Michelin LTX.
Front wheel drive cars also have about a 3x wear factor on the front than the back. . . If you don't rotate, the rear tires easily get 1.5 x the rated mileage life for just getting towed along.
