Many years ago in Australia, when I used to race an old Fireblade, mounting front Cat rims with Losi stud tyres on the back was fairly common practise for me.

It certainly seemed to give the car more forward traction and sidebite on our standard bumpy low-grip dirt tracks. I did notice that it only seemed to work with mini-spike type tyres, as I tried the same thing with holeshot type tyres and it didn't work too well.
