Are these suppose to go on a certain way? When I was cleaning my bike I noticed they have an arrow on them that is black and a couple inches to the right of the Vittoria logo. I would think something important like this they would put in color so you could see it, or at least in with the black psi numbers rather than out there all alone where you might miss it for 3 months like myself lol.

 

And of course I have them both on the wrong way. So I'm guessing they are directional?

That wouldn't surprise me at all. More tires than I ever thought are directional but they print the arrow in such a way that it takes 10 minutes and a really bright light to figure out if/that there is an arrow on the silly things.

Odds are if there's an arrow, they're directional.

Yep, sounds like you have them on backwards.

The front is an easy fix. Just flip the wheel around. The back not so much.

I happened to notice that little arrow the last time I was putting mine on as well.  Fortunately I got lucky and happened to put it on the right way.  The tread pattern kind of points in the direction it should run as well if you don't want to hunt for that little arrow.
