where is more tire thread needed?

Is it better to have more tire thread life on the rear for traction or on the front for steering?

Rear. Not so much for traction but to also prevent oversteer when it is wet or in panic stops in the wet. There is enough weight in the front to minimize it.

You should always have the minimum tread (remember Lincoln's head) anyway but if you gotta have more, put it in the back.
