Depends on how you drive somewhat.
Assuming correct alignment front and rear, correct tires pressures and type
of tire.......
usually the fronts wear 'roundy' and the rears wear less and straight
across.
Of course if you are corning hard a lot.........the fronts will wear much
more.

You can just look around at poorly maintained cars left and right -the front
wheels are dark with brake dust, the front tires are worn roundish, and the
rears are hardly worn. - this is  for two wheel drive cars with moderate
power.

The tires on my vanagons hardly wear though, front or rear, left or right.
