I'm not talking about low tire pressure that will create the complete roll here... But understandable where you're coming from... That's what I used to think but it is opposite... You can do a search and see for yourself. Tighter rear will bring the tail around...

My experience is that LOW pressure in the fronts will cause more understeer than high pressure due to the sidewall flex which allows the tyre to roll more on the rim, thus lifting up the inside edge of the tread on cornering and reducing the contact patch, leading to reduced grip - just another 2 cents worth from me ....
