I'm a noob, so forgive me...can someone explain to me the use of this type of RC and the tire pattern on front versus back?

This is a 2 wheel drive stadium truck. Made for racing on a track. The rear tires get the grippy tread for pushing the car around, and the ribbed fronts are for giving the tires bite in the twists and turns.

Just imagine how those front tires act like a snow plow blade when you turn the wheels. Especially when you add camber to the equation. Now imagine trying to plow snow with the knobbies 😉

Front tires with ribs are used more often for loose/loamy dirt surfaces like so many tracks were "back in the day".

The don't provide any pull so no bars, spikes, or chevron tread patterns needed.
