You are correct about the static and kinetic turns. I was thinking right, but wrote it backwards. The idea is correct, 'though. As far as the rear brake being smaller on cars because of weight being transfered to the front, that is only half the truth. In the 50s and 60s, automobile engineers did not understand fully th eeffects of having too much rear brakes relative to the front. It was in the early 70s that the rear brake power was set by G force skidding instead of minimizing braking distance. Most people think that ABS was invented to stop shorter, but is was actually more critical to control skidding while turning. All of the smaller trucks had problems with the rearend sliding out during cornering while braking. That is why the first mini trucks came with ABS in rear only.
