Default 09 Font Tire Problems/ ??

over the weekend a few buddys and i were checking out the new tire on the 09's..
we have found a problem that you guys may already know about..
the tread pattern and rotation arrow are correct on my bike... but go inside on the showroom floor and the tread pattern has flipped upside down and the rotation arrow is still correct...????

what brought this question up is that a buddy of mine has 12K miles on his new ulta and the front tire is cupping (he checks for correct psi before every ride too)
and i have 7800 miles and mine has a slight cupping.

is this something that dunlop screwed up on and is trying to correct? i know in the past i have gotten as much as 20K miles out of a front tire...
