Default Sport Cup 2 directional ?

Went to put my sport cup 2 tires back on and found no arrow on it for direction? I kno it has to make a difference. If someone could post a front facing picture of the tire , I can figure it out .wtf

They are asymmetric which means they can be on either side of the car.

No, what he was saying is that they are not directional, however they are asymmetrical so there is an inside and an outside. The fronts can be moved left to right and vice versa. So can the rears. The PSS are also asymmetrical but not directional.

On directional tires you must dismount/remount them to swap side to side. The R888's I use on the track are directional so must be flipped on the rims to change from side to side.
