Default Different tire wear on front and rear.

Hey Guys,
It's time to mount my stock summer tires back on and i have noticed that the fronts are wron a bit more than the rears.
I heard it's not good for the center diff if the tires are not evenly wron. I took some pictures to show the difference; please help me decide if they are still ok to run.
Thanks alot!!


Left one is from rear and right one is from front

Very normal. It only makes sense, the tires turn and have more weight on them in the front. I try and rotate my tires every 4 to 6k to keep things even. Throw the more worn ones on the back.
