The Falken's are similar. Just mount in - inboard and out- outboard and you should have no problems.

a directional tire will have an arrow on the sidewall, that should always point forward.

yep, i've got them. The tread will be opposite on each side. Just make sure the solid blocks are on the side facing out.

I have Parada Spec 2 and i love just for the fact ive had them on for about 4months and they still feel like the 1st day i put them on!! The only complaint i have about them is that they need to be rotated alot for some reason maybe its because of my car!!

I had the spec 2's on my slips on my '95. After 2 lapping days they still held up. Wet traction was great (a big concern around the Seattle area) and dry traction was better than the spec 1's. Turn in was noticeably better also. I had spec 1's on my '92, went through 2 sets so I can do a pretty good spec 1 vs spec 2 comparison.

I used to work at Discount Tire Company and we put these tires on all the time. They are directional, just like many people here said. There is an arrow which says which direction the tire needs to be going. This is just the same as the stock ITR tires were.

These tires are very nice, but if your car is out of alignment they will cup out really easily. Like another person said, keep them rotated.
