Thanks for posting the link to the BMW TIS. It's got lots of useful information and it explains why tires on the drive axle wear faster.
I've owned 2 Mercedes E class cars, an E30 and an E28, all with RWD, and they didn't seem to wear the rear tires as fast as my E90 with staggered setup. It's true I rotated the tires on all those cars except the E90, but it appears that the staggered setup wears the rear tires about twice as fast as the fronts.
