Its pretty common that the rear tires will wear faster than the fronts, I'm curious how much wear alone decreases a tire's stickiness. Could wear alone make as much difference as a different tire between the axles?

Hi,
You're correct. The handling can be affected, the effect can be magnified at speed or high
g maneuvering. You're also correct that Tires lose grip as a product of age. The compounds used in Modern Tires will harden with age resulting in greater slippage, irrespective of Tread Depth...
