Which wheels experience more wear and tear?

Which wheels experience more wear and tear?
I'm just wondering... do you think the fronts or the rears experience more wear and tear from gravel/pebbles/debris etc while driving?
What do you guys think?

it's the same.
curbing needs to come into play though.
that's where most wheels get messed up.
not sure if fronts or backs get curbed more though.
my wife curbed her rear rim. I've yet to curb a rim, thank god.

Hmmm I think for curbage, its usually the rears since parallel parking can be a b*tch sometimes.
I voted rears for this simply for the fact that the fronts can kick up road debris and cause it to "bounce" around under the car -- some of this debris might make its way to the rear wheels. I guess its a stretch but thats my logic.

The front brakes throw more dust, the car weighs more in the front and the spring rate in the front is usually higher, thus there's more pressure on the front wheels.... if you hit a pothole with both the front and rear tires on the same side at the same speed, chances are if there's a bent wheel it'll be the front.
If you rotate your tires it will be even.

In terms of wheels, the fronts get trashed first usually. In terms of tires, it all depends. The fronts are generally more likely to bubble, but regular wear depends on if your car is RWD, FWD or AWD.

The tires matter. Hypothetically, if you get a 245/50/17 tire mounted on a 8" wheel where the sidewall sticks out like a mofo and there's plenty of it height wise, your wheels will probably fare very well unless you're a terrible driver. Change it to 205/40/17 and the chances of getting curbed or bent wheels increases a lot.
for 50/50 the rear will squat backwards during acceleration and dive forwards under braking so its about even, no matter if its FWD/RWD/AWD but the front will still take the majority of abuse in terms of hitting bumps and stuff
for 50/50 the rear will squat backwards during acceleration and dive forwards under braking so its about even, no matter if its FWD/RWD/AWD but the front will still take the majority of abuse in terms of hitting bumps and stuff

I Go To Costco, I'm assuming the fronts and rears have the same series tires so its not a variable

After 20+ years of owning cars, I've never seen any significant wear difference between front and rear wheels. The one area where they are not equal (mentioned above) is in brake dust; the fronts will definitely get dirtier in that respect.
Best,
