What does this mean? Mavic Yksion elite guard tires. Are they on backwards? (lemmy.world)

Basically title, this symbol is on the tires of my new (to me) CAAD12. Are the tires on backwards? The right side of the picture is the front of the bike, the left side is the rear. This is the front tire. Another picture below showing which way the tread is facing. The tread "looks" right, it appears it would channel water away from the center correctly.

I think it’s literally just pointing at which way to install the tire.

Like it’s just an arrow pointing to the literal front of the bike, not indicating rotation. It’s just an unintuitive design.

Also Jesus, nice CAAD12 lol. Enjoy!
