No it won't - what he was describing is no different than typical tuning with tire pressure at an auto-x. Higher pressure in the front, lower in the rear, so the fronts grip more and the rears roll over and grip less.
The tire size needs to be nearly identical to that of the front, or the center differential will not be happy. The odds of a different make and model tire being the same are slim, unless you go out of your way to match the overall circum. to that of the front tires. I suppose it can be done, but you need to make sure the tire's actual size is correct.
