Pop the hood. Look at where the front suspension points are, now notice the engine sits BEHIND that point. That means some of that engine weight is supported by the rear wheels. Now look where the transmission is - closer to the center of the car, so a bunch of its weight is carried by the rear as well.

It's percentages, not all or nothing. You don't split the car in half and say anything in the front half is supported by the front tires and vice versa.
