Tires labeled as rear application on the front of a 4x4 atv?
I just bought a King Quad 300 that needs new tires. The fronts are 24x9-11 (stock is actually 24x8-11 but not much out there for that) and the rears are 25x10-12. The common option is Kenda Bearclaw but I don't really like the super aggressive mud tread. I found the Kenda Pathfinder tires but the only 24x9-11 size is listed as rear only. Will there be issues running rear tires on the front if the size is correct? I assume maybe slightly harder steering if the tires are flatter but any other concerns?
Assuming bias ply, if they have a rotation direction, run it backwards. What is your caster angle on the steering? If more bike-like than car-like, you may get weird handling with a less rounded tire. I would just order the right tire and then you don't have to worry about it. There seems to be a good collection of 24x8-11 online.

Yea that is probably the best option. Thinking about it more I am (hopefully) going to be running it in snow and the more aggressive tread could help.
