Riding on the rims is only for the front. This is something you do for a really fast car running flat out on a large-ish track. Basically with tires you're trying to strike a balance between front and rear. For example, if the rear of your car is swinging around and you spin in turns (oversteer), you need to do something to either make the rear have more grip or the front have less grip, or both. If your car plows and doesn't turn as sharp as you like, use front tires with more grip.
I race primarily on a hardwood floor and an enamel-painted floor, both fairly smooth. With a stock setup I spin out way too much, so harder front tires or none at all work best for me. Obviously the grippy-er everything is, the faster you can go. So again, as grippy as possible in the rear (LXX rears or pullback seem to be the best), and then whatever is needed in the front to balance out the characteristics in a turn.
