Tell that to the people who pretty much invented brake bias valves like Tilton & Wilwood.
Many cars on the street & race cars intentionally reduce rear wheel braking under panic situations for exactly that reason.
You NEVER want the rears to lock before the fronts.
Therefore it is 'safer' to have the better tires in the rear to minimize the possibility of it happening.
