Abstract

A vehicle brake system is described in which a lower brake pressure is fed in at the rear axle compared with the brake pressure of the front wheels. For the purpose of feeding in this brake pressure, the difference VD between the fastest front wheel speed and the slowest rear wheel speed is formed and compared with a threshold value which depends on the vehicle deceleration. An increase in pressure is undertaken until the threshold value is reached. The threshold value is, furthermore, larger in the case of travel in a straight line than it is in the case of travel in a curve.
