We've had 4 (and a Mini) now and it's true. They wear evenly and don't need rotating. You won't find it in the manual as a maintenance item. Good thing, too, for the split configurations where the front and rear are different sizes.
It didn't come out that way, at all.

Thanks. So no rotations/balancing but how about alignment? I am assuming it's included in the same concept, eh?

If the above mentioned aren't needed, then the tire/wheel warranty is more for protection of damage to the wheel/tire then it seems, correct? I am debating whether to purchase it or not, because down the line I'd rather use that $ to purchase better tires.

Thoughts are welcomed.
