Can you put a tyre meant for the front, on the rear?

Physically, of course you can..lol

Hi guys,

But, seriously, what would be the effect (if any) in terms of the ride quality?
Would it diminish, or would it make little to no difference?
I have already bought one front tyre (meant for the front) and am struggling to find the rear version.
Here is the tyre...

Have any of you done this before?
I think i have, but i was like 13..lol, so i cant remember, nor would i have noticed.

Cheers

Jake

I've put IRC Mythos fronts on the back with no worries at all

It may have less traction, so will be more likely to slip when pedaling hard.

As above, but better if you reverse it...

i doubt you would notice the difference, pretty average tread pattern, a rear wouldn't be much different

 

[JamesM]

Some are very different, Smoke and Darts or WTB Velociraptors for example. Rear is designed to give good drive/traction in a straight line, whilst the front is designed to provide lateral/cornering grip.

The trye in that link doesn't look like it would provide great straight line traction.

The direction of rotation of the tyre in the link is anti-clockwise as it's a front tyre, but if you fitted it back-to-front so that it was on the back wheel exactly as you look at it (with the cassette towards you...) you'd get better drive...

It was an old DS trick to run Darts front and rear on some courses.

Anyone remember Tioga Farmer Johns when you got them the wrong way and went through sand / gravel?
