Diablo Front Tyre pattern

[dclifford]

Has anyone ever noticed anything odd about the thread pattern on the front tyre of a set of Diablos. To me it looks as if the wheel is on backwards. It looks like it would push water to the centre of the tyre.
I cursed the person who fitted the tyres until I saw what way the arrow was pointing.

tread on front tire is designed for maximum traction unter braking as opposed to the rear that is designed to have maximum traction under acceleration
