Correct answer
Towards the front axle.
Towards the front axle: the vertical load on its tyres increases and that on the rear axle decreases. This results from deceleration and the height of the centre of gravity. It is not simply caused by the front brake, nor does it mean every front tyre always wears more in every situation.
