Directional tyres on FWD

[Voyager2021]

Newbie here. Hello folks. A quick query about same-size directional tyres. I have an oldish 2000s VW Golf.

On the outer sidewall of my two studded winter tyres, there's the forward-rotation mark, and the other two tyres show a backwards-rotation mark.

Do I install both forward-rotation marked tyres on the front axle, and the backwards-rotation marked tyres on the rear axle?

Please help. A bit confused here.

The directional arrows need to point to the front of the car. Sounds like yours on the back need to be swapped.

Cheers, aleekat, I mixed them up in the dark during installation. Will swap the rear ones over so that they're both facing forwards.

Thanks again. Cleared things up!
