I have noticed that on some vehicles that the front tires lose their shine faster then the back tires and I think it's from the added weight up front that actually the sidewalls are flexing more and creating more microscopic hills and valleys eventually wearing the product out faster. If that makes any sense??

:iagree:

Also, if the tires are under-inflated slightly (which will be stronger on the front due to the engine weight), when on a long highway trip they'll heat up more and could possibly cause evaporation of the product as well.
 
brake dust is usually heavier on the fronts and may not be helping things either.

Plus since 70% of braking is on the front wheels, it stands to reason that 70% of the frictional forces and resulting heat is on the front tires.
