15021, What tires brake?

Yup. When we brake, is it only our front tires that actually engage in braking or do the rears also

All four unless you have a problem with the brakes. There's a proportioning valve that divides the pressure equally. your fronts get worked the hardest though.

i think the usual is 70% in the front 30% in the rear.

the only reason why tires would wear due to breaking is when you lock em up....
the proportioning is 80/20 f/r

Is it worth it to put discs on the back then?

Looks better but adds more weight...so you decide.

braking power depends on whether you have rear discs or not. discs are far more efficient than drums so in a car with rear drums more power is given to the rear wheels in comparison to a car with drums in the rear. all four wheels break but your fronts always brake more because your usually going forward. RS and ESI are like 80/20 GS and up is more even. not exactly sure though

Esi's have rear discs. An ESI is NOT the base model of an eagle talon.
