Not a valid charge.
OP be sure to get your front aligned to 1/64" toe. This stops the outer edge "Stepping".
ONLY rotate the fronts side to side keeping rotation the same. YES than means dismounting the tires from wheels. Puts both outside edges on the inside.
I have 44k on my DRW tires and all 6 measure 5/32" tread depth. Rears never get touched.
Run 80 psi fronts all the time and 30 psi unloaded rear and inflate to what the chart dictates per your rear tires weight plus 5psi.
But if you’re not swapping front to back, rotating the fronts side to side to change rotation direction will smooth out tread feathering or minor cupping. Flipping the tires on the rim will even out outside tread wear from cornering, if you’re experiencing that.
Only time that’s been a factor is living/driving in the mountains full time, or on heavy dually truck front ends (little tires lots of weight).
