No, and I know this from Auto mechanics and personal experience..

In Chicago on Icy roads when you pull up to a stop light and rest your foot on the brake pedal the rear ones engage, an the front ones allow the tires to keep turning. when you let off the brake to move forward the ice is glazed underneath the tires and you cannot get traction

In automobile maintenance rear brakes engage first, and wear faster

Well, that’s funny ‘cause I’ve been driving in snow and ice in Colorado for 35 years and every vehicle I ever had was biased toward front brakes. I just had the front brakes done on my F150 but, shazam, the rears had plenty of pads left to go.
