Rear wear on FWD is to say least variable.
The current 'lingo Multispace is based on a commercial vehicle built around the size of a small euro pallet. Seems to wear all four tyres at about same rate. Manager at KF in Newcastle u L said as much and also highlighted a tendency of 08 and post models to wear outer edge of treads first. Adding 65kg of caravan noseweight and the bounce of it's basic suspension clearly won't add to rear tyre life but I doubt it's significant overall.
My 05 model is a bit more front heavy but much less so than say a BX where rear tyres failed structurally with bubbles in wall and running tread b4 getting anywhere near TWI limits.
