Buy a tire with thicker tread rubber to mount on the rear . then there is more to wear down..
some MTB tires like those for tractors have a tread for steering , and another one for traction force..
to pull the Plow. or get you up the hill of dirt.
To be realistic..
designers design , consumers consume what gets made..
doubt anyone that does the tire design , working for the brands that all know of, here ,
spends time answering the forum, to give their motivations for their design features,
just people saying what they bought.
