yes Ive seen the arrows. I use Conti's allthe time on the touring rig and I like the ride and they seem to last a good many miles you are right the arrows go in two directions for frount and rear I mount them the way the arrow shows and havent had a problem i dont know the reason for the different directions other than maybe a traction thing but i am not an engineer

Has anybody noticed this? This is the first time I've used these tires and have never encountered this situation with other tires.
