tire mounting advice?

[Erik Toews]

hey boys and girls:

i've got a vittoria (sp?) rubino pro that i'm trying to mount onto my rear wheel for a ride tomorrow. it's uni-directional tire, meaning that it's got a tread that looks like feathers on an arrow. unfortunately, the tire (near as i can determine) has no mounting indicators on the tire itself. anybody have any experience with this and/or can tell me what to do? do the tail end of the 'feathers' go facing backwards or forwards? thanks in advance for your help.

Looking at the tire on top of the wheel, the tail end should face
towards the back of the bike. As the wheel rotates the sharp end of
the "arrow" touches the ground first.
