I concur with Jack,

The tread on both tyres should look V-shaped when viewed from the front,
and A-shaped when viewed from the rear, as the apex of the V or A should
hit the road first, to squeeze water outwards as the tyre moves
forwards. CHECK YOUR DIRECTION ARROWS.

Jonaz, please report back if we're wrong!
