Default directional or non-directional tire

When I bought my 87 convertible last month the rear rims are on backwards direction wise. Figured Id have to get the tires swapped on the rims to fix this. But they seem to be new as in no miles to speak of and non-directional tires. Sooo Im planning on jacking up the car and just switching the rims on the back from one side to the other.

Here is the craptastic tires that are on it.

mirada sport gtx

I changed the front ones to BFGoodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2's and will change those Mirada things over eventually but its hard to talk myself into ditching them yet since they are brand new.

Anyways the question is are the Mirada things directional or not?

Cant find a direction arrow on the tire. The stuff I found on the web doesn't say one way or the other. Also the thread looks non-directional. So any opinions before I switch the wheels from side to side?

They look non-directional to me. As you already checked, there would be an arrow on the sidewall if they were directional.

those are non directional.

the G-Force tires are excellent! I had them on my '88

Ditch and sell the crappy tires. with G-Forces all around you will be very happy!

Planning on ditching them but I figure I'll have some fun doing burn outs with the Mirada's first

I wonder if they would fit on my 97 formula firebird. May have an excuse for ditching them even sooner.....
