The front wheel has to be light enough to steer with whilst providing stability and the ability to carry the whole weight of the bike and riders under heavy braking. The rear tyre provides stability and takes the whole power of the engine. The profile and width put a similar footprint of rubber on the road whether the bike is heeled right over in a bend or upright.

Can you mix tire sizes?
Generally no for vehicles that were not designed to use differing tire sizes. For vehicles designed to use equal sizes, using different sizes can lead to unsafe handling quirks.
