Default Taller tires in the front??

I've noticed that some of you folks run a taller tire in the front than the rear. What is the purpose of this? I am ready to replace my fronts, just put Maxxis 22" on the back of my Warrior, ride mostly mountain/rocky trails. Would putting taller than the stock (22") on the front be of any benefit?

Maybe it's more of a racing/draging advantage, in which case no real benefit to a trail rider????

I'm clueless.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It gives it a little more ground clearance. I don't think an inch more clearance makes that much differance, but thats what a dealer told my buddy and me when we got new treads.

Larger Diameter tires roll over obsticles on the trail easier, such as logs and rocks.
