Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Climbing will eat rear tires also, so if you climb much you will accelerate rear tire wear.

For the record, when you brake your weight shifts forward toward your front tire and you unweight the rear. Unless you are skidding you are probably not doing major damage to your rear tire by braking.
