All the fancy gizmoes (ABS, TCS, ESP, etc.) are great, but when you slam on the brakes, the laws of physics still reign supreme, and you don't want the back end of the car passing the front end.
Another point: If you are cornerning a little too fast on a wet surface, having the better tires in the back will allow the car to understeer (safer, more predictable to the average driver), rather than oversteer (much scarier, less predictable to the average driver).
Some tire shops (Discount Tire for one) put new tires on the rear unless you give them a really good reason not to.
Enjoy!
