Thinkng about this queston leads me into thinking about how braking works generally. It seems to me that as long as none of the wheels is locking (which, of course, is what ABS prevents) then having full braking power available at each wheel has got to be the best option.

The alternative is to artificially limit the braking power at the rear wheels, by whatever means, bias bar, limit valve, weaker brakes, means that full braking power is not available at the rear wheels just in case it might lead to the rear wheels locking.

So, no wheel locking, no problem. Or so it seems to me.
