Question 330xi tread wear....

I have been doing some research on the effects that different F/R rolling diameters can have on the differential. Now here is my question. I am running the oem 17's with the oem continental runflats.....would significantly more worn front tires as opposed to significantly less worn rear tires cause enough of a discrepancy to mess with the differential....sorry if this is a silly question....thanks in advance

any automobile will usually have more worn out front tires due to the weight put on the front axle while braking. the benefit we have on the XI is that we should be able to rotate the tires front to back and thus balance tread wear.
