For once I totally concur with the SC and have been practsing so for umpteen decades .
Generally, all my tyres stay in the same 'corner' from new to end of life (of say 115k km) .........
on several different cars till todate .

Edit:Yes, end of life of 115k km for an XM2 at the same corner 'untouched' till its 'end' .
So much on extended tyre life for 'regular periodic tyre rotations' which sounds like a myth to me .

Yes, a particular tyre and rim 'assembly or combination' stays intact during a tyre rotation .

It is normal for front tyres to wear faster than rear tyres .
In this typical scenario that happens regularly to most other car models as well , I don't buy the idea of rotating tyres (front to/fro back) with a view to even out the wear pattern so as to simultananeously later replace all 4 tyres at one go .
Instead, I just leave it alone and let the 'worn' front tyres continue its use on same position till say, 1.6 mm tyre depth . By then I would replace only 2 tyres to replace the worn front tyres , retaining and continue to use the serviceable rear set of tyres .By this I think better value for money in tyre replacement is better achieved .

I see no point in the frequently advocated practice of replacing at one go all 4 tyres ! It is not like replacing tyres require so many months of prebooking , and the actual replacement jobs takes weeks to accomplish ..... burning one big hole in the wallet in an instant .

What you say about faster wear after rotating tyres or change 'position' or 'contacting surface profile' or multiple times of 'broken-in' makes perfect sense , IMO . Unfortunately this 'negative' phenomenon is being kept aside or hidden from consumers.
