Would you have us believe that all of us sudden all the roll control switches to the rear the instant the front inside tire comes off the ground?
The outside front tire still has its suspension, does it not? Unless the car is rotating around a point above the center line of the front outside tire, which it isn't, that suspension is still resisting roll.
The "weight" (mass x gravity) of a car does not move around. Also, if you use weight or mass instead of load, it makes it hard to understand that the loads the tires are handling may exceed the weight of the car. For example, when a 2000 lbs car is braking at 1.2G of deceleration, the tires are dealing with 2400 lbs of load.
