Hi Peter,

I don't think anything magical happens when you have matching aspect ratios (profiles) between front and rear. Even some production cars mismatch (like new Corvettes, if I'm not mistaken). As far as aesthetics, personally, I don't think tire setups look right if the front tire has more sidewall height than the rear. But you can obtain the right look with different combinations of aspect ratio and tire width. Just my 2 cents.

Joe
