With the 'worse' tyres on the rear you are at risk of snap lift off oversteer which is very hard to catch - e.g if you have to brake or lift while going around a roundabout the back end steps out sharply - it's worse in FWD cars but with WRX's having a 70/30 split they behave in a similar manner anyway.
Weaker grip on the front makes a generally safer car as Steve says understeer is more predictable.
