Going by my TTS placard-listed Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR; iow max allowable axle loading) the ratio is 54% front and 46% rear. But again that's the GAWR and not from whence the performance percentages are typically derived.
At 165 lbs dressed, solo, and with an empty trunk my axles are considerably less weighted so 60/40 is close enough for government work.
The weight must be pretty balanced. This winter when I changed my wheels back I had to change the one pair. The front diameter ended up being a little under a half inch in diameter larger. The front end would not stay to the ground. I am still playing with the suspension this winter. This winter it feels as it the car is riding in a layer of air since my summer mods.
I've completed a first round of mods this summer and dropped maybe 200# between the center and front. Put the winter tires on and the car seems to be floating in air. I think I've list the front end weight needed to keep the car in the ground. I think I need to raise the rear a little to distribute that weight back to the front.
