I ask because it doesn't take much pressure (friction) to make the rear tyre skid, so back there you don't apply much force compared to using your front brake to stop as quickly as possible (both, but the point still stands).
I’m pretty good at high speed braking. I live in a moderately hilly area. I guess I apply the brakes about 50/50 initially but then the front brake ends up providing a higher percentage. I do notice that my front pads wear out sooner.
