generally yes due to the greater amount of weight placed on the rear wheel. Since this particular picture has a crate over the rear wheel, I’m assuming the bike is ofter used to tote material which will increase pressure on the rear wheel which will result in greater wear.

Yes, most of the weight of the bike is on the rear so it wears quicker.
The ‘normal’ way to do it is to buy a new tyre and put that on the front,
Put the old front on the rear, when that is worn out repeat.
Even though the wear is on the rear you want the good new tyre on the front.

Rear tyre has to manage all those wheel spins and skids. 🤟

Unless you ride real mountain trails buy something with minimal tread. No reason to buy a knobby tire if you only ride on pavement.

100% normal.

Yes. Buy a new tire and put it on front. Move more worn one to rear. Rinse and repeat.

Yup my MTB rear tire always wears out first. More weight on the rear and the rear skids more during stopping.
When you change tires move the front to the rear and buy a new front.
Adding weight like you have with a crate over the rear tire increases wear a ton.

Swap the front with the back and get new tire for the front

The wear pattern is also different. Rear tires wear in the center of the tread. Front tires have a more even wear.

Always put the best tire in the front.
