Just curious if anyone had tried this. I was thinking that maybe putting the fronts backward might provide more "grab" due to the lug design but maybe it's negligible.
other then having a new sharp edge there is little benefit in running it backwards but in the mud you will not get the benefit of the lug design to help clear the treads...
I know lots of guys that run directional tires backwards on the front. It helps mainly in mud bogs when you need to back up, but not much of a difference elsewhere.
