I agree with the service writer.
I want the tires with the most tread on the back because they are the drive tires and wear the fastest. When towing the drive tires wear the fastest by a long shot.
Showing my age but back in the day, we were always told the best tires should be on on the front. Rear tires don't steer in wet weather and blow outs on the front are far more catastrophic. By rotating tires wear even.
This is a towing forum. Tires that have a lot of weight on them (from towing a TT or 5er or camper) wear the quickest. Trucks with a lot of torque (think of diesel trucks) really burn up the rear tires.
The whole idea of rotating tires is to have them all wear at the same rate. If the OP's tires with the most wear were already in the front there is no reason to put them on the rear for faster wear. That defeats the whole purpose of rotating them in the first place.
