A Different Tire Aspect Ratio from Front to Rear...

Luke,
In the world of aspect ratio, is there a reason, pro or con, to have a different size aspect ratio going from the front set vs the rear set?
My example: my tires on an 05 S600 are 245 40 ZR19 fronts and 275 35 ZR19 rears.
The tires are from Tire Rack and I have a vibration from 70mph and up.
I only developed this vibration after I put these new tires (Kumho Exsta) on a few months ago, but it vibrates the entire vehicle.
Would the difference in aspect ratio contribute to this issue or is the the difference in ratio not such a big deal?
Thanks in advance.

-Chris

Aspect ratio would not cause vibration. There are many cars out there that have different aspect ratios right off the assembly line.
