Yeah, normally the tread has to follow the downward forward motion. I had similar tires on my buddy's BMW, he mounted them himself and reversed the treads. After he wore them out, he realized they were backward because right on the sidewall it had an arrow showing which way the motion was going.

Are those MX's? I'm looking at a set of MX's in 275/40R18 and 245/45R17 whenever I wear out these $1300 Eagle F1s 
Lucky the rims came with half-decent tires on them..

Those aren't MX's. They look like 711's but they could be 712's, i'm not up on my tire tread patterns. I'm getting the same as you soon Duron, for my C5 rims

I know they aren't 712's, They had a bit more aggressive-looking tread pattern (I had a set of those). I suppose they could be 711s.
