Also they're one hell of a deal

$650 before shopping for all 4, made in Japan probably right next to those potenza tires

Looking at the pics all of the tread patterns face the same direction. If there is an inner and outer tread (which certainly appears to be the case ) then when you turn the tire around the directional part of the pattern will be backwards on 2 of your tires...

I notice that too. Must not be directional.

I've knonw these to be uni-directional... I'm wearing 275's Firehawk Indy 500 Wide Ovals for my fronts.

But the thread pattern on the ones pictures above is different... so not sure if those are or not. Those could be an upgraded version

Wouldn't it say the actual tire?

My tires just say inside and out, it doesn't specify a direction

Just called Tire Rack and Firestone

Yes, "asymmetrical tire" usually means non directional. So you just put inside, outside and you are good.

However, the tread pattern will be different on one side of the car, vs. the other with the tires in the picture. That is a bit unusual in my experience.

Here is what I mean:

Actually if you flip the picture you have it correct

The outside of the tire is the more aggressive looking tread, idk how else to put it lol. It's a bit odd but I doubt anyone will ever notice.

Hmmm interesting. I did look at a bunch of other tires, and it does seem like it's not that unusual. So you can rotate from side to side. Are your wheels all the same size? Then you could do a proper (full) rotation for tire life.

They look like nice tires for that price. Be careful in cold weather though!

Just get a set of Mickey Thompson Slicks and not sweat the tread pattern.
