I've seen them often in the front and back together. They're really good tires, so I'd pick some up. I've never used them, though.

And I don't think it's that no one likes you, I think it's that no one that viewed this thread had any idea about it. I did earlier, and since I didn't know much about these tires, didn't bother responding. But now since you asked, I responded.

Hope that helps.

Ive actually put worn Bow tires on the front of my Evader. My thoughts on that are this...They Grip very well, and IF...IF your car is balanced properly they will work great. What I found personally was that the front wouldl ift off the ground just a lil, then when it would touch down again the turn would be to much...I mostly ran on grass so the traction was to much ( I thought). I found that I couldnt control the steering, it seemed very erratic and was hard to keep straight. Also, I had a few broken parts that I found after that, so that ay have been the issue. It looked cool, and I think that if you had 2 sets both front and back ...brand new I think that it would look pretty sharp.

Speaking of tires, When you guys say that those Road rage tires or w/e they were called are the best....thats rear tire....what would you run for the front tire?

I used to run road rage tires...and for an ST, road rages work best when they are all around the car. Being treaded street tires, the road rages grip best on road...so why put aggressive steering edges up front mainly for dirt, when you run in the street. I ran them on all four tires, and i instantly noticed a difference from the stock tires. Hope this helps.

I try to help you, but i can't understand what you are asking. Youre posts are one continous sentence with lots of mispelling and next to impossible to understand. If i could understand what you are asking i would be more than willing to help.

I often used PL Dirt Works in the front. They last a while and look more scale.

Yes, or I'll use the blade. There is a reason why the pro's don't use pinned of spiked tires in the front.

Bow ties are meant to give their best traction in the front/back direction, they aren't meant for non-drive tires, and your steering will suffer if you put them on the front.
Edge type tyres are designed to grip in the left/right direction to maximize steering. They will probably be your best bet on most types of dirt.

A lot of tracks are now running rear tires in the front im not sure on the exact reason why, but it seems to work.
