Correct tire rotation & tread??

I just bought a 21" rim and had a tire installed today. The arrow is pointed in proper direction, but the tread is completely backwards from my stock 19" tire. The arrow is pointed in correct (same) direction on my stock tire. Stock tire = groove works from inside - out . The new tire seems completely backward. Please take a look at photos.

Thanks,

p.s. I have not been drinking or doing any drugs, am I seeing this correctly?

Okay, not a very clear picture, but I downloaded it and blew it up, and- it looks like the arrow is pointing in the wrong direction.

I can't see the arrow in the picture but it should point so that it is "falling forward". When the arrow is at the top of the wheel it should be pointing down the road

At least they lined the yellow dot up with the valve stem.
