I heard they're fun...Drag racers go to a staggered setup because they don't need the front tires to do much more than hold the front of the car off the ground.
So with no traction requirements either laterally or for forward acceleration, drag racers tend to go with small tires up front to reduce overall car weight and rotating inertia, and to shift the car's weight distribution a tiny bit rearward. Even if that's only by a quarter of a percentage point (i.e. 53/47 to 52.75/47.25) there's still a little benefit to be had.
If your car has big power or you're driving up near the limits of front tire grip, more than likely yes.
Power sliding is almost never the fast way around a corner and is always a fast way to wear your rear tires out.
