No, it wouldn't. When a tire goes into a skid it is completely out of control. Might as well be pushing a piece of ice across hot glass.

The front tires do about 80% of the braking. The reason for this is because when you brake the weight of the car shifts forward increasing the amount of grip available to the front tires and reducing the amount available to the rear tires. If the rear tires lock up mid corner and are just sliding along they are no longer providing nearly as much traction as they were so you're likely to have the tail come around on you.
