Not all tires have wear arrows. As for your rollover to the arrows. It might be just a little less pressure or you might need to reduce front camber a little. Either way you need hot tires temps to help guide you which way to go. Or maybe you just need to drive it harder.

We all do realize that the arrow is pointing to where the tread wear indicator (TWI) is, right? It's certainly not there to indicate how far down the sidewall the "tire abrasion line" should be.

If, by chance, on a certain model tire the TWI mark is in the right spot to act as a "tire abrasion line", consider it serendipitous. It certainly is not the rule...
