Never had a problem deciding which is the right direction for mounting the many tires Ive changed but the 547 isn't clear.The only indication is the "Front Tire Only" marking on the sidewall that has a triangle graphic.Assuming that's the direction as that make's sense as both would be pointing front.Thoughts?

From the tires I've mounted they always seem to have the tread in this pattern; front tread pointing back > and rear tread pointing forward <. I remember this because I actually slipped up mounting one of my fronts but caught it before getting it back on the bike.

I assumed that's was what they intended to indicate,but Ive never drawn an arrow like that or that "front use only" means ","tire direction". All the tires Ive mounted on my many bikes have either said "rotation" or a simple arrow .
