I would have thought that when braking all the weight transfer will be forwards so the majority of the braking will be done by the front brakes and you will then become traction limited. At the back of the car, the weight will reduce and you will also become traction limited because of the reduction in load on the tyre - i.e. the rears will lock because they are lifting off the road and have a neglibile braking effort.
