Front 130/80/17, Rear 150/70/17
I have a pair of them on mine. I chose the 120/70-17 for the front and a 140/80-17 for the rear and i run both of them tubeless. So far i am liking them a lot and may very well replace each of them when the time comes with another Shinko Trail Master 705! :{)

The latter, even it said "Rear 130/80-127" I'm assuming as front tire will do just fine?
I can’t answer your question as to whether that particular rear tire will function as a front, but on some tires there are specific reasons why a tire is a front vs rear. The tread splice direction (for strength) and tread pattern direction (for water dispersal) come in to play. The tire is generally loaded most heavily in the opposite direction when it’s on front vs rear. Would you reverse the mount direction arrow or leave it the same? I would look to the tire manufacturer for answers to those questions, not just assume the rear can be a front.
"Front/Rear" ?!? I don't remember 705 rear is the one you can rotate front/rear?!? Really?!?

Why does everyone always seem to be stuck on the Shinkos? The Continental TKC 70's offer a 160/60/17 rear if stock size is desired. It looks a tiny bit less meaty than the Shinkos but still looks like a solid adv tire. Is it more price-point oriented?
