New Tires - Comments on Direction

I have these Panaracer CG XC tires. They lack any arrows so the rider on their own determining how to mount them.




Am I right in thinking that having both oriented so that the ramps on those knobs strike first should be somewhat faster with less rolling resistance but with a little less bite? Would you mount them both in the same direction or one one way the other the opposite?

What are your thoughts?

Here are two reviews of these tires: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/cove-h...view-2010.html

In the first review he says he mounted them the "traditional way" and by the looks of that the ramps face backwards (I'd have thought traditional would have been the opposite):
