The front suspension takes most of the abuse when cornering. FYI.
If you take hard corners you will see side wall starts to wear, when/during the load there is little response you will get from the tires (depends on the grip of the tires performance index) See > slip angle. When you apply throttle at the right moment you can oversteer/spin out even with bone stock setup.
So... since all the weigh is up front during cornering or braking, it makes some sense.
