Detonators = sh*t. The ones that came with my Steamroller lasted 3 weeks before the threads started showing through on the back tire. Replaced it with a Soma Everwear which is considerably more durable and skids real smooth.
For a front tire I guess Detonators aren't horrible, but I wouldn't chance it using one on the back unless you never skid or only ride your bike like 30 miles a week.
