Default Tire direction question

Is the rear right tire tread pattern going the correct direction? There are no arrows on the sidewall indicating which direction the tire should rotate in. Any help would be appreciated. The tire is a Michelin Pilot SX.

it is a symetrical tire ... not direction, meaning you can mount them any way you want

That wasn't Luke, that was an imposter.
Luke would never have misspelled "directional".

YOUR TIRES ARE ON BACKWARD!! Only drive your Corvette in reverse until this is corrected!! You risk overheating your battery if you continue to drive normally!! You may have already irreversably ruined your tires!! Have them checked by an tire pro at Salvador's Tire-'Rama immediately!! He will advise you on which used tire you should replace those bad French tires with. Road Hugger's are the tire of choice at Salvador's Tire-'Rama!
