Hi, Can anyone tell me how to make sure you've got the tyre tread facing the correct way? Thanks

There's usually arrows on the tyre itself indicating it.

theres always an arrow moulded into the sidewall and if thats not clear looking on the top of the tyre when fitted the arrow or direction of tread should always point forward

There are also asymmetric tread patterns, which may be marked 'outside' or 'inside'.
