Just got a new set of tires from sears, ya i know, dont hate, didnt ever cross my mind when i first looked at them they could be on backwards. But something cought my eye and looked at the little directional arrow, looks like this https://home.comcast.net/~bmierz/IMG_1710.jpg front left tire

 

the sport a2's are not directional, or asymmetrical.

 

its pretty tough to tell....

what you gotta look for is the center of the tread to decifer if its direction.

dont be imbarassed man, when i first became a tech1, i would get that **** confused too, but the outside of the tread is pretty much irrelevant. if the middle of the tire tread clearly goes one way then its directional. the easiest way to tell if its right is to think of the tire going through and which way will the water flow through better?

maybe thats kinda a weird way of looking at it but it worked for me when i first was confused.

oh yeah and the sidewall of the tire *should* have an arrow pointing in a counterclockwise way (for drivers side) and opposite for psgrs.

hope this helps you understand..

 

That's just the Dunlop logo. It would say directional on the sidewall if it were directional.

 

ahh, gatcha, thanks for the quick help fella's
