Going with a narrower tire in rear is only done as a last resort, particularly when suspension modifications are limited (i.e. in SCCA Solo-2 Stock class). Ideally, you want to increase grip in front as much as possible before you start taking it away from the rear. Also, this is a common practice with R-compound tires, but it is rarely done with street tires because they lack grip to begin with.
