This recommendation was more to prevent oversteer in cornering. The
I recall that when radial tires were introduced into the U.S.
they came with a warning that they should be installed in
pairs and that if only one pair was installed that they be
installed on the rear axle. Perhaps radial tires provide
greater traction so this warning was intended to prevent any
lock-up of the rear wheels during heavy braking, an
occurrence which would likely result in a spinout.
