Question: What handling changes would one anticipate if running, say a 4wd front Taper Pin on a 2wd buggy, rather than the narrower 2wd front Taper Pin?

It isn't much of a difference except the tire rolls over the wheel more with the four wheel front.

The way it was explained to me by my Sensei...LOL...was that you get more initial turn-in with tapers, but less when you're really cranked. I use them pretty regularly when the track is more dried out.

On my CR buggy it seems that the 4wd tapers (mounted on 2wd rims, stock foam) gave more turn in but would make the car hook a bit coming out of the turn--a bit more unpredictable. I would try to find steering from other places and stick with a 2wd taper and play with the foam width and type.

Panther sells some of their front tires labled for 2wd and 4wd. There really isn't much of a difference though, the 4wd's are just a little wider. I run Panther Clay Switches on the front of my B4, they are labled for 2wd and I love them.

The biggest problem you are going to have running a wider front tire is that you will scrub off a lot of speed in every corner.... that is if they grab the type of track you are running on.

This is going to create a start and stop situation every time you turn. More heat to the motor and consistently slower lap times.

I wouldn't do it!
