Which way does the V go in V rated radials? Year one 17" Snowflake tech

These are 255/50R17 on new Year One 17" snowflakes. The perfect size for these in my opinion. The question is, which way is the thread supposed to be oriented in F1 "V" type patterns. I have always thought it was like this. However, open the centerfold on your latest Summit catalog and check out the rear tires on the 550 Hemi Challenger in the centerfold. The tread is pointing in the opposite direction. What way is correct? I know the idea is to channel water out, but you can make a case for either way depending on how you think about it.
