A larger circumference wheel presents a larger contact area with the ground and offers greater traction. A larger wheel also provides a more level ride over a rough surface. Torque is not a deciding factor.

A tractor is basically used for farming hence it needs more traction at the rear because it has to carry the heavy plunger that Is why it has larger wheels at rear to carry larger forces.

1. Bigger wheel - more radius hence more torque.
2. Bigger base - for farming over fields, to reduce pressure.

The front wheels are not changed to avoid unnecessary cost. Even in big carrier trucks one can see that the rear wheels have bigger base or there are two rear wheels fixed on either side. In cars this is not done as it is unnecessary, and also reducing the front wheels would complicate the design of the car, adding to its production cost.
