Unless you LIKE to have your rear end come around in panic braking situations....
while I basically agree with this(putting better tires in rear), its typically because 95% of the population throttle-lifts mid corner, causing the rear end to come around. And 95% of the population doesn't know what to do when that happens, and so 95% of them crash/spin out.

Better tires up front won't cause the rear end to come around unless you are turning, and most panic braking is in a straight line.

Even with "good tires", you can still throttle-lift oversteer the car though.
