You don't want a low friction tire at either place. Low friction means that the tire will slip, which will lead to loss of control and possibly a crash.

If you can't avoid it, low friction is a little less disastrous at the back than at the front. The front wheel getting away from you is more certain to lead to crash than a rear wheel slip.
