The fronts carry the most weight and do the most work, especially when breaking. The back tires are basically along for the ride--and if I were going to have a tire blow, I'd sure rather have it be on the back rather than the front. Finally tires get pretty much the same amount of traction from new until about the last fifteen percent of their life. Unless you have real baldies on the back it won't make much different in handling. I would make sure you get the same brand/size/model of tires front and rear though--that could make a big difference in handling.
