While cornering and braking weight transfer takes place diagonally that is from rear right to front left or vice versa. Larger front track width decreases this weight transfer.  Rear wheels closer helps in attaining traction. Front tire wider than rear also helps in steering (decreases turning radius.)  And weight transfer is inversely proportional to track width .

The track width is normally measured to the centreline of the tyre. If the front tyres are narrower than the rears, but at the same time you are exploiting the maximum width available - then the front track will be wider than the rear (but not necessariliy the overall width of the front).

 

The more track width you can have the better you can take corners for a given tyre size because the load transfer from the inside to the outside is less, so the tyres are sharing the work better.
