I'm assuming you mean the 6 - ply reinforced variety, 'Moomoo'. I had a pair on the back of my 'S' reg 245 many years ago without any adverse issues. I was carrying a fair bit of weight around in those days and they coped very well, but the ride could be a little hard when running unladen.

Although I never tried, I don't think that I would fit them on the front. My 'gut' tells me that they would upset the suspension and steering characteristics.

If you do run different tyres front to rear you will need to consider what spare(s) (if any) to carry and also any insurance implications.

Regards, John.
