Note that the front and rear grain virtually identically, as do the tires across the entire tread.
Actually, it kind of does matter surprisingly.

Confirmed with a Bridgestone rep - the RE-71Rs need a 24 hour rest after the first heat cycle in order for the bonds to break and re-form in order for the tire to work its best.

If not, then you can get some graining or undesirable tire wear. I've certainly seen it
