Default people with road attacks i need your help?????

Just had mine fitted,the front however is causing me some concern, on the side wall there is an arrow that says"drive" that is pointing in the same direction as the arrow on the wheel as it should be. But on the side of the tread there are more arrows pointing the opposite way is this normal?

Also the tread pattern is opposite to the rear???

Please help put my mind at rest cheers. ben

The arrows on my tires are both pointing in the same direction of the revolution of the tyre for forward travel.

Right this is the little arrow on my front wheel that I'm on about...



This should be pointed in the direction of travel for your wheel.

Right had a real good look, on the front is the following...

>-DRIVE-> which is pointing in the oposite direction to all the other tyres arrows and on the wrong way to be the correct direction of travel for the tyre.
The rear has...

>--REAR-> which points the same as 'drive'.

So I would say that DRIVE means the driving tyre, or front as we know it. But it looks like your tyre is indeed on the wrong way round.
