Drag Tire combo question

My friend just got a set of Mickey Thompson ET Streets for his car. He asked if he need to run skinnies in the front. Someone told him that its not safe to use M/T ET streets in the rear with is daily rims and tires in the front. I cant see why this would not be safe. Am i missing something here?
