I used to do that

Odd? depends on the riders you hang around with.

Old school BMXers wouldn't blink an eye-lid with a 1.75R-2.25F combo. It will "slacken" the bike posture a bit which can be a good thing depending on what sort of riding you're doing. In some circles you might get a slap in the face

I went back to same-size tires because of economy. I always wear out my rears first, so I relegate my "still OK" front to the rear and just buy one new tire for the front.
