Its seems kind of strange the front wheels and the back is not synched. Is this cause by the difference in tire size?

It's not an optical illusion. It's a "camera" illusion. The camcorder records as some give frames/sec (probably 24 or 30 frames per second), while your eye sees it continuously. The wheel rotation is a function of car speed. The number of spokes also enters into this camera illusion. When the wheels rotate so that the spokes appear in the same place for each camera frame, it then appears to be stationary. As the rotation speed starts to increase or decrease from that speed the wheel appears to either rotate faster (clockwise) or slower (counterclockwise). Tire diameter differences will give a different appearance at the same vehicle speed.

In old (1945-50) black and white western movies the stagecoach wheels would appear to rotate backwards. They solved that by painting some of the spokes black.
