exactly.
I use to autox a FWD car. I would intentionally do things to the car to give the rear less traction- stiff rear sway bar, a little bit of negative camber (more would be better for more traction). This would reduce its tendency to understeer and be more in the edge. Oversteer in a FWD is a ton of fun as you just keep in the throttle and it pulls you through.
So yeah, better tires up front if you like chasing the rear of the car and go backwards into the tree.
Better tires on the rear if you want to let the engineered crash structure of the car do it's job- and watch it in front of you.
Better tires all around to avoid either.
