How can you say the rear is more planted?? Does the back not have to go over the same bumps as the front??? I am not 100% sure of the weight distribution of an SV, but there is a good chance the weight is biased to the rear?!?! Again, bearing in mind the rear has to 'drive' the tyre too (be that on or off the trottle (engine braking)) is the rear not actually getting a harder time of things? It certianly wears out first (generally speaking) ...
