Haven't used a staggered set up, but both my X5 and X3 wore four tires evenly over 75,000 km (original tires in both cases). The X5 tires were still in good shape at that point (sold the vehicle). The X3 tires were replaced at 4/32", not worn out, but I wanted to replace them for another reason. I would have gotten 90,000 - 100,000 km on them, by my calculations. I never rotated tires on either vehicle.
Wearing fronts out first isn't from braking, it is from aggressive cornering with a heavy vehicle, so YMMV.
