Falken Tire Help!
I just got my new Forgelines and Falkens. At first I was excited, now I'm confused.
I know just about all ultra hi-perf tires are directional and there should be a left and right tire to keep the tread pattern in the right direction. It all sounds pretty simple.
My new Falken RT-615K tires say "OUTSIDE" on the sidewall to make sure the tires are mounted correctly. So far so good.
When I put the two front or two rears side by side, the tread patterns aren't going in the same direction even though the "OUTSIDE" marked side is on the outside.
I've looked over both sides of the tires and nowhere are they labled LEFT or RIGHT, just OUTSIDE. Does this mean they're not directional? Which one should go on which side of the car?

I have those tires. They are non directional but asymetric tread. You have them on correctly.

I took a couple of pics a few minutes ago and they're now on my build thread.
