no, the front to rear balance would not stay the same.........I encountered this when I tried to run my 23" xct's in the front w/my 21" geckos in the rear. the back just dug in and had a hard time planing out. Smaller in the front would dive more, and you would have to adjust your suspension accordingly (stiff front, soft rear)

you lost me....are you saying the balance will not stay the same regardless or are you saying you should always go 1 inch higher in the front????

It all depends on how and where you ride. There is no right answer. I run 22x8x10's on the front of my Mo and they look huge, But they give great floatation over snow and that is important to me. I'm running Fast Trekkers and they don't roll over during cornering so I think the larger diameter front tire you run the better.
