If the person that sold you the set was an actual truck guy they would have marked where each tire was in the rig, for instance LF for left front or RR for right rear. Weights have no bearing on front or rear only the balance of the tire and wheel.

Look for any uneven wear , those were probably on the front , you can put them on the back and have the front end checked when you get a chance
