Even different size tires will make a substantial difference ... for quite a 
while, I ran 235/40-17s on the front of my Ur-Q and 215/45-17s on the back, 
both on an 8x17 wheel.  Because the front tires were nearly and the rears 
were half worn, the difference in diameter between the two was nil (and even 
if they're both new, it's well within acceptable limits) and I found the car 
felt much more balanced.  The only reason I eventually went to 235/40s all 
around was to make it easier to rotate tires ... that and they were on sale 
at the time and I'm cheap-ish, if not quite cheap.

BTW, I also found the same to be true on my FWD 4k as I happily ran it with a 
205/55-14 on the front and a 185/60-14 on the rear, both on the track and on 
the street.  A little bit of toe-out up front didn't hurt, either.
