one of the rules of thumb is to put wider tires on the rear where there are different sizes. it would look funny if the toes of your shoes are higher than the heels.

+1 for more back gripping to avoid slipping/swaying of rear left and right when heavy braking is needed

i would agree.

But, kaso sa mga sedan, front wheel drive. tapos most of the braking power sa lahat ng sasakyan ay mas kailangan sa harap.

FE/FR (front engine, front wheel drive) and FE/RD (front engine, rear wheel drive) or even ME/RD cars use the same rules for tire types or sizes:
1- if possible, all four tires should be the same size, width, diameter and ply type, i.e., bias or radials
2- if tire width are not going to be the same, install the wider tires at the rear
3- if tire size or diameter are not the same, the bigger tires go to the rear
4- if tires are mixed radials and bias ply, the rear gets the radials and the front gets the bias ply
these rules have been followed since time forgotten
