kenda excavators, installation question on direction of tread

The excavators are somewhat directional i notice. I put the rear on so the center paddle will rest on the ground with the ears of the paddle facing backwards.

Now is it best to face the front tire in a reversed direction to that of the back? or is it batter to face it the same? or does it really matter with these?

Both tires face the same direction.

Standing in front of bike looking toward the back:

Thank you

Feels alot better that way, they move pretty good on pavement. No good mud to try them out here yet, though, as the ground is still frozen.

LOL there was an arrow for direction, serves me right not to put my reading glasses on O_O
