So as in the picture, when my bike moves forward, the tyre rotates in the direction of the arrow saying front.

Please correct me if I am wrong here.
Woah- for a moment i thought M45 has a special "front" tyre now.
Saw both the pics of "both" the tyres and realised they just made it worse for users if i interpreted them right. :(
Or maybe better for n00bs now, coz of some related issues earlier.
Pics of the rear tyre helped me as you clicked then wrt to the rear shock.
When unfitted, do the front and rear tyres bear identical marks wrt that front and rear 'lettering' with arrows?

What size you running at the front and rear?

Will you please provide full pics of each of the whole tyre in view as they are mounted from the exhaust side of the bike.- please.
Just one pic per tyre is enough so that i can see the entire tyre and both the markings simultaneously.
I need to recheck before i open my mouth and try to shove in my foot once more.

Also, is the speed rating/max speed mentioned on them on any side.
Any mention/print/mark where these tyres are made?
These M45 look funny for several reasons along with those front and rear markings- "funny funny shoes".
