Default Chevrons

On a front non driving axle on tarmac the tyres wear better/ last longer when the out side of the chevron hits the ground first.
For mud clearance/ better traction on driven axles the center tip of the chevron needs to hit first.
So its the perceived usage that dictates which way tyres are fitted.
