I just like to grumble whenever I run into a situation where somebody like a warranty writer uses imprecise language. Smile and nod at me, and I'll likely shut up and move on.
I was the one who said "if the tires can't be rotated". Of course I meant when the application prevents rotation. The actual warranty terms are pretty clear that they mean they'll halve the warranty for rear tires in a mismatched front/rear size application. Again - I also read that as assuming such setups will be rear wheel drive. If there was a front wheel drive setup that couldn't be rotated, I would think the fronts would wear out much faster since they're doing the driving, steering, and (probably) carrying more of the load.
