Default Tire question

Hi everyone,

Just wondering what difference it makes to have the same tire size on all four wheels compared to larger at the back?
Been reading on it and it seems that most of you go larger in the back!
I have 255/60/15 on all fours and wondering what it would change to swap them to thinner in front and wider in the rear?

Cheers

My daily driver has 70's on the front and 60's on the rear from Good Year and they rotate them left to right.

Thanks, is it going to change anything about handling?
