Nails in front or rear tire?

My BoxsterS came with Dunlops and BMW came with Continentals. I got a couple of rear tire flats on both cars. One I had to replace the tire instead of patching it and still got another nail in it. Only after changing tire brands did I stop getting rear tire Nails. The boxsters I went to Pirelli P Zero Neros and the BMW went to Generals.

Since where and how I drove did not change, decided it had something to do with the wheel base, circumference of the tire, and tread pattern that made the more prone to nails getting setup by the front tires to puncture the rears.

I know I am weird with my deductive reasoning.
