Tyre Rotation

OK, bare with me.

I've been working on the brakes today at my mates.
Changed the fluid there and went home to change the pads.
So, I've just noticed that both front tyres; the rotation arrows are pointing the wrong way. Rotation showing backwards. So, if I put the drivers side wheel on the passenger side that will be fine but even if I put the passenger side on the drivers side it will still be wrong. This tyre must be fitted to the wheel the wrong way round

If this is the case, surely this is something MMC would of noticed or am I missing something?

Could be wrong way round, previous owner might of swapped front wheels around or summin which I think would send the direction the wrong way. A bit odd tho. What tyres is it?

Oh, Yoko 48's....
Isn't the pattern symetrical therefore wont matter??

48s are not sided but are obviously directional so if both fronts are the wrong way round, you should be able to swap sides and that'll fix it. Like I said before, how you do that without a set of axle stands or a spare wheel I don't know

Bricks? It's worked for generations of pikey wheel thiefs!
