There could be a better selection of front 26" tyres (lighter, suppler, softer, in a larger variety of sizes) but unless you're front brake only, I don't see why anyone would need anything tougher/lighter than what's currently available for the rear.
I can see 'throw-in'/'tournament' tyres being a distinction in the future. Especially if it's wet or indoors where a soft compound would give you a nice advantage.
