Bike: Rans Fusion (semi-'bent)

It has Primo Comet tires, 26x1.5 rear, 20x1.5 front. I also have an Easy Racers EZ1-SC that I'm preparing to sell. The previous owner put a Vittoria Aerial Kevlar 20x1.85 tire on the rear of the EZ1. I'm thinking that's a pretty nice tire, and wondering if I should put it on the front of the Rans before I sell the EZ1. The Vittoria is somewhat wider (1.85" vs. 1.5), and it's almost a true slick, whereas the Primo has some tread.

D'you think I should run with that Vittoria on the front? Is it a better tire than the Primo? Will a front tire wider than the rear do anything squirrely with the handling?
