Example: stepping hard on the brakes in a turn, if your fronts lock and begin to fire abs, you lose significant steering control, like locking the front tires of a bike on ice, you will fall over. Therefore, more braking power is given to the rear, giving you the same stopping power with less risk of loss of steering control.
This is my understanding of it. Other can feel free to disagree.

Yep changed mine for the first time at 120k. Same thing fronts were still good and rears were gone. Changed them all anyways. No rotors or calipers yet. Next time maybe.

well you got 25 000 km more out of yours than i did, nothing wrong with that. And I try to gear down a lot to slow down and save my brakes.But as stated above, there are other parameters in question other than just braking.
