Could be interesting on something like a Lotus Esprit that has different size rims and tyres front and rear :)
Strange tyre story ?

they do know about cars with different sizes and will fit appropriately
We had a hillman imp van (Husky?) A bag or two of cement in the front boot was vital in icy conditions.
I crashed one (early beetle), I was driving along a major road in icy conditions, just after I left a built up area I was rolling along , all on my own when I found that I was starting to face right a bit, I thought that the back end was sliding into the kerb and steered a bit left, but what was actually happening was that the wind from the left was blowing the nose across the road. There was nothing to do except wait for it to stop, which it did, backwards off the road on the opposite side into a wooden fence.
One would have thought a Husky was Ideal in Icy conditions.

...so they might refuse to sell you some new fronts if your backs are a bit worn :)
That doesn't sound like free capitalism to me.
