Default same size tires on front and rear...?

why does everyone run atleast one inch bigger on the front than the rear.. i wanted to get some 20 inch rears and some 20 inch fronts.. but there must be a reason why people dont do this.. anyone know why?

the reason the tires are bigger in the front is so more weight is put to the rear tires to help accerlation. i think that it also lessens the wheel spin in the rear because there is more weight shifted to them. we all know that it has way toooo much wheel spin. i run a set of hole shot XCT's on mine, 22 in the back 23 in the front, i have about one inch of clearance on the heel guard now but it increased my top speed by 2mph.

It puts the weight in the rear so that you dont peel when you leave the line as much
