I finally got my combat rims repainted. Man what a job. I had them blasted clean which is worth its weigth in gold. Painting was a pain. There are so many hidden areas that even a small parts spray gun can not get to and I was not about to leave anything unpainted. I ended up with a small brush painting DP40 and the final color in all these areas, then spraying the accessable areas. They came out OK except the new paint show all the imperfections (Hammer marks and rust pits, which gives them character.)

My question is. I have my Michelin XL tires ready to mount. Which direction is the tread mounted in. If you look at the tire there is a slight chevron to the tread. Is this pointing forward or towards the back when it is in contact with the ground? Another way to put it, if you look at the tire track on the ground, which way are the slight chevrons pointing, the direction the truck went or the direction it came from?
