Default Tire question

So I'm looking at tires for a future buy and was looking at some good/better off road tires. Wile looking at proline 117012 Trencher tires I noticed that it says that they are for front tires. Is there a difference between the front and rear tires or could I theoretically run these tires on the front and rears. I cant see that it would make that much of a difference putting "front" tires on the rear. I have run nitro in the past but both my cars have been down for the last 2 years because the cost to get them running out weighs the cars them selfs. So i'm not new to nitro at all just have not gone this deep into replacing/upgrading parts.

Also been a long time since my last post here but now that i'm getting back into nitro hopefully ill be on here a little more.

The number you listed is for mounted tires:

The tires are front or rear but this wheel is only for the vehicles listed (click on the "fits" tab).

If you want tires only:

Hopefully, someone will jump in with firsthand use of them big a** Trenchers. I, for one, didn't care for the short course version. After wearing down a bit, they lost their ability to grab anything but loose stuff. The bigger 2.8 tire, with the lugs spaced out farther, maybe about right for monster truck use.
