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.

I love how people talk about street driving as if it's equivalent to track driving. Track conditions are stable. You take your warm-up lap and you know the condition of the track.
When you are on the street there are so many things you can't control. If there's rain, someone doesn't see you and cuts you off, debris is in the road, there's an accident, there's a puddle, oil, leaves, so many things. It doesn't matter what you do, it is a lot safer to have better tires in the rear.
Swap them when you get to the track.
