Did something magically change in the physics of car handling in the last few years? No, but all the tire companies changed their philosophy to say that no matter what the drive type (FWD or RWD) that you should put the better tires on the rear. Why did they change stories with no real change in tires or technology? Because the lawyers decided that the AVERAGE driver did better with understeer than oversteer at the limits.
If you understand oversteer, then put the good tires on the front and you will do better. Period. If you don't even know what oversteer is, or don't feel comfortable working with it, put them on the rear.
